What is a problem-focused exam?
A problem-focused exam—sometimes referred to as a limited oral evaluation—is a dental examination that concentrates on a specific area of concern. Unlike a routine checkup, this visit is centered on diagnosing and treating urgent dental issues.
Our pediatric dentists will:
- Conduct a thorough visual examination of the affected area.
- Use digital X-rays or other diagnostic tools if necessary.
- Assess for tooth decay, infection, trauma, or other abnormalities.
- Discuss the best course of action for immediate relief and long-term care.
- Provide parents with clear treatment recommendations and at-home care instructions.
When Does Your Child Need a Problem-Focused Exam?
If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms, a problem-focused exam may be necessary:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Chipped, broken, or knocked-out tooth
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Dental injury from sports, falls, or accidents
- Signs of infection (e.g., abscess, fever, or facial swelling)
- Unexplained bad breath or changes in bite alignment
