An oral cancer screening and periodontal exam is completed and the findings reviewed with the doctor. Dr. Kim will review any new findings as well as any delayed or incomplete work and review and update your treatment plan. The hygienist will then clean your teeth and go over any Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) and suggestions to optimize your home care.
