Oral Exams and X-Rays in NE Calgary

A dental exam is a thorough check of your teeth, gums and the soft tissues of your mouth. Your dentist looks for cavities, gum disease, worn or cracked teeth and signs of other problems. Oral cancer screening is included in every comprehensive exam. We recommend an exam every six months.

Some problems hide below the surface. X-rays let your dentist see between your teeth, inside your teeth and below the gum line. They can help show cavities between teeth, infection at the root of a tooth and changes in the bone that supports your teeth.

We use digital X-rays, which expose you to low levels of radiation. The images appear on a screen right away, so your dentist can show you what we see and explain your options.

1. We review your health history and ask about any concerns, such as pain or sensitivity.
2. Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and mouth, including an oral cancer screening.
3. We take digital X-rays when they are needed.
4. Your dentist explains what we found in plain language.
5. If you need treatment, we explain your options and give you a clear plan before we start.

Everyone should have regular exams, including children and adults who have no pain. Book sooner if you have tooth pain, bleeding gums, a broken tooth or sensitivity to hot or cold. If you have a sudden problem, see our page for Emergency Dentists in NE Calgary. We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies.
