Examination
Why do I need a dental examination?
Examinations help you keep your mouth healthy and let your dentist check for any dental problems; leaving them with no treatment can lead to more complications in the future.
During your visit our dentists will examine:

Your gums - check for gum disease, check if they are pink , firm with no bleeding

Your mouth - oral cancer screening
