South Edmonton Dental Checkups & Dental X-Rays

Your Strathcona Dental Clinic dentist will perform a comprehensive exam at your first visit to establish a baseline for your oral health. At your regular check-up/exam, your hygienist and dentist will complete the following to maximize your care:

• Radiography: X-rays will be taken and examined for diagnostic purposes. Radiographs are critical to detect tooth decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss and show teeth placement and root positions.
• Oral cancer screening: Examination includes checking all areas of your face and neck, including tongue, throat, tissues, and gums, for any signs of tissue or lymph node changes.
• Examination of tissues and gums for any signs of tissue changes
• Periodontal disease evaluation: Your gums and the bone around your teeth will be examined for signs of gum disease.
• Tooth decay detection: All the surfaces of your teeth will be examined for tooth decay and cavities.
• Examination of Existing Dental Restorations: Any previous dental work, procedures, or treatment you have done will be checked to ensure it remains viable.
