A Complete Health dental exam looks at more than the mouth. We take your blood pressure, review your medical history and then examine your oral structures. This includes the exterior and underlying tissue of the jaw, the intraoral tissues, teeth, gums, tongue and intraoral structures, the bite and the jaw joint (TMJ). Digital X-rays and other diagnostic tests are used as adjuncts to discern any pathology and diagnose proper treatment.
