Exams & Cleaning
A dental exam is the first step to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. At Aston Clinic, we provide a thorough check-up, including necessary X-rays and photos, to identify any issues early
What’s Included in Your Dental Exam?
Routine Dental Check-Up: We carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for cavities, gum disease, or other concerns.
Jaw Joint (TMJ) Assessment: Your jaw joint helps your mouth move and chew. If you grind your teeth or have clicking or discomfort in your jaw, we assess for any problems.
Facial Muscles Check: The muscles around your mouth and face help with chewing and speaking. We check for any lumps, pain, or weakness and arrange further tests if needed.
Oral Cancer Screening (Cheeks, Lips, and Tongue): We screen for early signs of oral cancer at every check-up. This includes checking the soft tissues inside your mouth, lips, and tongue for anything unusual. Catching changes early increases treatment success rates.
Gum Health Check: Healthy gums are key to strong teeth. We check for signs of gum inflammation (gingivitis) and gum disease and recommend treatment if needed.
Tooth Assessment: We examine each tooth for cavities, cracks, sensitivity, and old or broken fillings. X-rays and photos help us detect hidden problems.
Bite Alignment Check: If your teeth don’t align properly when you bite, it can cause jaw pain, headaches, or even tooth breakage over time. We assess your bite and offer solutions if needed.
