Checking for dental decay is an important part of an oral
exam. We will check for signs of decay, including decay around old
fillings and decay of exposed tooth roots. Detecting tooth decay early
can save time, money and your teeth!
If you wear dentures, it's important for us to periodically check
them for proper fit and to look for oral lesions. Although they were made
to fit precisely, dentures can become loose due to naturally occurring changes
in your gums and bones. -ADA
