During subsequent check-up visits

We will also include the following:

• Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
• Oral cancer screening: We examine your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Gum disease evaluation: We check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
• Examination of tooth decay: We use special dental instruments to check all tooth surfaces for decay.
