When you come in for a dental exam at Genuine Dentistry in Rockwall, you can expect a thorough oral health evaluation. Here’s what we typically check for during an exam:

1. Medical History Review: Dr. Schweers will review your medical history to understand any health conditions affecting your dental health.
2. Visual Examination: Dr. Schweers will perform a visual inspection of your teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth to look for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
3. X-Rays: Next, we will take dental X-rays to provide a detailed view of your teeth and jawbone, helping to identify issues that are not visible during the visual exam.
4. Gum Health Assessment: We will evaluate the health of your gums to check for signs of gum disease, such as redness, swelling, and bleeding.
5. Oral Cancer Screening: Dr. Schweers will check for any signs of oral cancer, including sores, lumps, or irregular tissue.
6. Bite and Jaw Analysis: He will address your bite and jaw to ensure proper alignment and function.
