Comprehensive Exams

The ADA defines a ‘comprehensive oral exam’ as “.. an extensive evaluation and the recording of all extraoral, intraoral and soft tissues”.

The ADA defines a ‘periodic oral exam’ as “..an exam that is done on established patients to determine any changes in dental and health status since a previous comprehensive or periodic evaluation”.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends new patients have a comprehensive dental exam on their first visit and established patients undergo this exam every 3 years.

Areas to check:

  • Periodontal exam (gum and bones supporting the teeth)
  • Dental Exam (teeth)
  • Head and Neck Cancer Exam (soft tissues of mouth, throat and surrounding structures)
  • Occlusal Exam (Bite analysis)
  • TMJ Exam (jaw joints)
  • Radiographic Exam (x-rays and various scans)
  • Esthetic Exam (appearance of teeth and gums related to the face)
