Dental Exam
Annual comprehensive dental exams to evaluate your oral health, screen for gum disease and oral cancer, and catch issues before they become problems.
Overview
A comprehensive dental exam is the diagnostic foundation that the rest of your care builds on. At Diamond Dentistry in Wellington, FL, an annual exam covers cavity detection, gum and bone health, oral cancer screening, bite alignment, and a TMJ check — everything that could quietly affect your oral health before it shows symptoms.
Why Annual Exams Matter
Periodontal disease — the leading cause of tooth loss — often does not produce obvious symptoms until it is well advanced. The same is true for early-stage decay between teeth and many oral cancers. Regular exams catch these in a window where treatment is straightforward.
Establishes a baseline of your dental health to compare against
Surfaces new or recurring issues before they need bigger interventions
Includes the diagnostic imaging needed to assess teeth and surrounding bone
Coordinates findings with cleanings, fillings, and any restorative work
What Happens at Your Visit
Dr. Rowland reviews your medical and dental history, then performs the clinical exam: each tooth is checked for decay or fracture, gums and periodontal pockets are measured, and your bite and jaw joints are evaluated. Digital X-rays are taken at intervals appropriate to your risk profile (not every visit). The visit ends with a discussion of what was found and any recommended next steps. Patients of every age should plan on at least one exam per year — more often if Dr. Rowland recommends it based on what she sees.
