An oral health assessment, also known as a dental examination, is a thorough evaluation of your oral health. This typically includes an examination of the teeth, gums, tongue, and other parts of the mouth, as well as a review of your medical and dental history. The purpose of an oral health assessment is to detect any potential oral health issues and to determine the overall health of your mouth.
