To have a good dental health it is important that the care of the mouth and teeth begins in childhood. Otherwise you may have problems with teeth and gums such as cavities and tooth loss.Â
Valuation
Assessment or diagnosis is the determination, qualification and identification of a condition or disease by means of the signs and symptoms presented by the patient.
In order to have a good diagnosis of the state of your oral health, you must complete a questionnaire called Anamnesis, where you are asked about your general health and if there is a need for dental treatments.
In addition, a clinical examination and complementary tests such as X-rays or 3D tomography are performed in order to generate a prognosis and a treatment plan.
The dental treatment plan is the proposed comprehensive solution to your oral problems, which were identified during the diagnostic process. This plan is explained in a sequential, logical and orderly manner, with the objective of recovering and maintaining dental health.
Before starting any procedure, a treatment plan must be established, which may be modified if an emergency arises or if an unforeseen event occurs during the treatment.
