When we carryout an examination on you under the pilot contract, we will call it an Oral Health Assessment, and during this assessment we will examine your mouth as well as considering other risks such as smoking, drinking (both fizzy/sugury drinks and alcohol) and your diet, all of which may affect any problems you may develop in the future. We then use a traffic light scoring system for four areas of your oral health. The four areas that we score are tooth decay, gum disease, tooth wear and soft tissues. Hopefully this will help you better understand any potential problems you may have with your teeth and mouth and will help us to work together to improve the level of your oral health.
