Why a 16-Point Dental Health Assessment?

Unlike many practices that offer a one-size-fits-all approach to dental care, our 16-point assessment delves deep into your oral health, ensuring that we identify not just existing issues, but also potential problems before they escalate. Here’s how our assessment works and why it matters:

1. Soft Tissue Examination: We begin by inspecting your lips, cheeks, tongue, and floor of the mouth for any lesions or abnormalities. This helps us catch early signs of issues that can affect your overall health.
2. Gum Health Evaluation: Healthy gums are crucial for a beautiful smile. We measure the probing depth around each tooth to assess your gum health and identify any signs of periodontal disease.
3. Plaque and Calculus Assessment: We examine your teeth for plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring that we can effectively manage your oral hygiene.
4. Tooth Decay Evaluation: Our team conducts a thorough check for cavities using both visual and tactile examinations.
5. Wear Patterns: We assess the biting surfaces of your teeth for signs of wear, helping us identify bruxism or grinding issues.
6. Occlusion Analysis: Understanding how your teeth fit together is essential. We evaluate your bite for proper alignment.
7. Biting Teeth Count: We ensure that you have enough functional biting teeth to support your chewing needs.
8. Mobility Assessment: Checking for any mobility in your teeth helps us identify potential periodontal issues early on.
9. Sensitivity Evaluation: We inquire about any sensitivity you may experience, ensuring we address any discomfort you may have.
10. Frenum Attachment Check: A simple examination of your frena allows us to assess any potential impact on function or aesthetics.
11. Oral Hygiene Practices Review: We discuss your current oral hygiene habits and provide tailored recommendations for improvement.
12. Salivary Flow Assessment: Adequate saliva is vital for oral health. We evaluate your salivary flow to ensure it meets your needs.
13. Tissue Attachment Levels: We assess the attachment level of your gums to your teeth, looking for recession or excess tissue.
14. Bite Functionality: Observing how easily your teeth come together during biting and chewing allows us to identify any functional issues.
15. Aesthetic Considerations: We evaluate the overall appearance of your smile, discussing any cosmetic concerns you may have.
16. Medical History Review: Understanding your medical background allows us to adjust our recommendations based on your overall health.
