Clinical Examination Process

- Clinical Examination: The dentist checks all teeth, gums, and oral mucosa, evaluating the bite condition; dental X-rays are taken if needed.

- Treatment Execution: Fillings, scaling, extractions, or basic dental procedures are performed immediately or scheduled session by session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth scaling painful and does it harm the teeth? Teeth scaling with ultrasonic scalers usually only causes mild sensitivity, is not very painful, and absolutely does not harm the tooth enamel. On the contrary, if tartar is not removed regularly, bacteria buildup will cause gingivitis and alveolar bone loss.
At what age should children start getting routine dental exams? Children should have their first dental visit when their first tooth erupts or at the latest before age 1. Regular check-ups every 6 months help detect early baby tooth decay and guide parents on proper oral hygiene for their children.
