WHAT IS MISSING IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL EXAM?
Beyond the obvious FMX, charting of existing and needed dental and periodontal conditions, and an oral cancer screening,there are many other evaluations which are directly related to our services and are within our range of authority and responsibility.
TMJ exam, facial muscle palpation,Mallampati classification (correlates tongue size to pharyngeal size) and an oxygen saturation test will provide critical information. Any dentist/hygienist/team will chose how extensive they wish their dental exams to be and what should be included.
And is this “nearly always accepted by patients with huge value and appreciation”? YES, it is, where the dental team shows their patients how much passion, care and skill they have. I see it in many dental offices. The really successful ones.
