Steps during Dental Exam
The first thing that the dentist in Fleming Island will do is to make sure that the patient has been offered all the preventive measures service as it is required. These include examination of the patient’s gums, teeth and the mouth in general. This may include the dental hygienist also taking x-rays of the patient’s mouth covering all the teeth and the gums and taking them through a clinical exam before he or she documents all that have been found.
Secondly, the dentist needs to give the patient a general diagnosis that concerns his or her dental hygiene state and then make sure that the dental hygienist has checked in with a dentist at least so as to be able to get the reviews on his or her findings on the patient.
Thirdly, the dentist will go ahead and make sure that he or she has educated the patient concerning correct and proper oral healthcare. He or she will then make sure to again link up with an available dentist and create a treatment plan for the patient then when all this has been finalized, the dental hygienist needs to inform the patient to come in on a specific day for treatment.
Finally, the patient will come in for a treatment course which will include lots of follow ups so as to make sure that the given treatment is working. This will be done by the dentist directly but in liaise with the dental hygienist.
