PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATION TO FIT YOUR GOALS
You might notice that our new patient exams are more extensive than you’re used to. We begin by taking series of records which include digital photos of your face, smile, and teeth along with digital x-rays to give us baseline information about your oral health. We will also review your dental and medical history in depth.
Dr. Mathew will check the acidity of your saliva, the nitric oxide levels, she will also check for sinus pressure, facial muscle tenderness, tongue tie, nasal breathing and more. We know that so much of what happens to our bodies is connected to our mouths. Our focus goes beyond just teeth.
Finally, how your jaw functions can impact your day-to-day life. Headaches and migraines have been linked to teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw popping or pain. Wear patterns, bite marks inside the cheeks, and clicking or locking joints can indicate that the jaw is not working optimally. We can help with occlusal splints and adjustments, along with lifestyle changes, to protect your joints from premature deterioration.
Once your oral exam is complete, Dr. Mathew will go over everything with you step-by-step in a no-pressure way designed to inform you and help you make the best choices possible for your oral health.
