Comprehensive Assessment

Comprehensive Assessment

A Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Assessment that includes:

Extraoral

  • An assessment of the exterior area of the head, neck, jaw joints and lymph nodes

Intraoral

  • An assessment of all teeth and surrounding tissue. This requires taking:
  • Periodontal measurements – an assessment of the health of the gums.

Oral cancer check

An assessment of the lips, cheeks, gums and tongue for abnormalities.

Once the assessments are completed, an individualized treatment plan is determined and discussed together with the client. From then, dental treatment may then commence.
