Ensuring Your Oral and Overall Health
Head and neck exams are a crucial component of your dental checkup, providing valuable insights into your oral and overall health. At our dental practice, Dr. Bob Wilson conducts thorough head and neck exams to screen for potential issues, such as oral cancer, temporomandibular joint disorders, and other abnormalities. Early detection and intervention can help ensure the best possible outcomes and prevent more severe health complications.
During a head and neck exam, Dr. Wilson will visually and manually examine your face, neck, jaw, and oral cavity. He will check for any signs of swelling, asymmetry, or abnormalities in the skin or tissues. The examination also includes a thorough assessment of your lymph nodes, salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, and an oral cancer screening. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to identify any potential issues and recommend appropriate treatment or referral, if necessary.
Regular head and neck exams are essential for maintaining your oral and overall health. These exams can help detect potential issues, such as oral cancer, at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful. Additionally, the examination can identify other issues that may impact your daily life, such as temporomandibular joint disorders, which can cause pain and discomfort when left untreated. Regular head and neck exams contribute to a proactive approach to your health and well-being.
