Consultation
Once the dentist is aware of your oral health condition, the next step would be to perform a diagnosis or a check-up. Through the examination, the dentist will check for any abnormal signs or concerns with your teeth and gums, and signs of oral cancer. The dentist will confirm what they think and begin to offer recommendations as part of a treatment plan. This will also include any cosmetic treatment requests. For example, if you need a filling or a crown for extra protection of damaged teeth, the dentist will make you aware of this and discuss next steps.
