What do dentists and dental hygienists really check during a dental exam? It’s not just cavities. In this video, I explain what is actually happening at your dental checkup, including how your dental team checks for gum disease, oral cancer, bone loss, tooth decay, cracked teeth, failing dental work, signs of grinding and clenching, and even blood pressure in many dental offices. We’ll also talk about x-rays, periodontal charting, gum health, the oral-systemic connection, and why routine dental visits are about much more than just getting your teeth cleaned. If you’ve ever wondered what your dentist is looking for during an exam, this video breaks down the real purpose of a dental checkup and why it matters for both your oral health and your overall health.
