At Bridge View Dental we recommend that you have a oral health evaluation every six months so that any early dental decay can be spotted before it gets the chance to cause any pain or damage. The examination also checks that your gums and soft tissue are nice and healthy so as to avoid tooth loss through gum disease. An important part of the examination is oral health screening to check for any signs of oral cancer or any other pathology. This oral cancer screening is carried out at every examination.
