What Is an Oral Evaluation?

An oral evaluation is a detailed dental exam that gives us a clear picture of your overall oral health. We’ll review your medical and dental history, check each tooth, look at your gums, make sure your bite is aligned properly, and screen for any signs of oral cancer. If needed, we’ll also take X-rays to see what’s happening below the surface.

We also tailor each evaluation to the age and needs of the patient, making it a safe, comfortable experience for teens, adults, and seniors alike.

How Often Should You Schedule an Oral Evaluation?

We recommend having an oral evaluation every six months. Visiting twice a year helps us monitor changes in your teeth, gums, and bite and address any issues as soon as possible.

However, some may need more frequent evaluations, such as:

Patients with gum disease or undergoing dental treatments
People with medical conditions like diabetes or a weakened immune system

Benefits of Regular Oral Evaluations

Spot Problems Early

Cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues are much easier (and less costly) to treat when caught early.

Keep Your Whole Body Healthier

Evaluations can reveal signs of conditions like diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or infections that may affect other parts of your body.

Monitor Growth and Development

For children and teens, regular exams help us track how teeth are coming in and spot any bite or alignment concerns.

Maintain a Confident Smile

Staying on top of your oral health helps you avoid surprise dental issues, keeping your smile looking and feeling its best year-round.
