hello there, welcome to the dental clinic. now are you having any problems with your teeth,
your gums, jawline for example? bleeding, pain, nothing like that? so it's just a
routine dental appointment is that correct? now are you brushing twice a day? are you using
mouthwash and are you flossing your teeth? okay do your mouthwash before you brush your teeth?
that might be something to consider going forward. okay so i've got a list of things
i want to do for the routine appointment. first up i'm going to just place my hands in the mouth
and examine the soft tissue okay? so you need to pop these on for me
just to protect the eyes from the lights etc
okay let's begin, open wide please
okay just relax a second
a little bit closer
okay relax that looks fine
i'm going to use the mirror, just in the mouth just have a closer inspection of the teeth
okay and relax
open, wide again i'm just going to review the bottom row there
there's a little bit of tartar building up behind some of the front teeth there
now you may require some treatment later on for that
okay i'm going to have another look and give the teeth a score
two, one, one, one, two, two, one, two, that's one, one
one, two, two, two, one, two, and a one
so that's just giving the teeth a score there. the lower the score the better. Let me take some notes
okay i'm just going to use the end of this device here just to gently tap
on the teeth there'll be no pain okay? open wide
let me review the bottom left
okay and on to the top now
back to the upper right
doing good
okay that's that check completed thank you. just relax now
okay now i have some special
little samples here for you to bite on and i'm going to observe the bite pattern there,
okay? so open wide
okay now bite down please
and open wide
okay for the next sample open wide. now place your bottom jaw behind the front
okay and bite down and bring the jaw forward
and open wide
okay and again
now bite down again with as much force as you can please
open, and again now really grit the teeth
okay and just once more, open wide
bite down please
now move the bottom jaw backwards as you're biting down
excellent thank you and relax
all right. okay i've got to remove as much tartar as we can there from the areas
it has accumulated. now i will book you in with the oral hygienist as well
for a thorough scale and polish. i'm just going to remove a little bit now
okay open wide please
that's good
okay and relax
okay open wide again please
excellent okay now i need to examine the gums in a little bit more detail. i am going to use this
part of this device here, just gently touching the gum line looking for any bleeding or any
gum disease, it's not going to hurt, all right? so we'll start with the bottom row. open wide
so
okay and relax then we'll move on to the upper. open wide again
so even though there is some tartar there, there's no evidence of any gum disease
okay and relax
okay i'm just going to do a little bit of inter dental cleaning now okay? here is the
interdental cleaning device here. i'll remove it from the pack in a second.
i think it's important that you incorporate this cleaning between the teeth especially at night
and these are the little incidental brushes that you can purchase. you can use them about twice
after two uses you can discard them so let's get the little device out
the pack here and give you a little bit of cleaning between the teeth
okay if you're ready open wide and relax
so
okay relax and open wide again. now for the top teeth
just a couple of strokes between each tooth
excellent and relax. now so there is a little bit of tartar behind the front teeth. i'm going
to book you an appointment for next week to see the oral hygienist for a little bit of cleaning
so what you need to do is you need to brush twice a day, mouthwash first each time and
use one of the interdental cleaning devices after brushing. a couple of strokes between each tooth
two uses so day and night and then you discard these, so
i'll let you go and just make your way to the reception desk please
