The Comprehensive Examination The
comprehensive examination is a process in which Dr.
Campi takes necessary records to provide a thorough
diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. This
will include the following examiniations:
Periodontal Examination: Periodontal
disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United
States due to loss of bone holding the teeth. Periodontal
disease has been linked to serious systemic problems
including heart disease. Dr. Campi will examine your
gum tissues to insure that gum disease is detected in its early stages. Also,
periodontal health is a significant consideration in determining the outcome
of cosmetic treatment.

Caries
(Cavity) Exam: During this examination, Dr. Campi locates areas of decay on chewing surfaces
and between the teeth. Drs. Campi use both a clinical exam and x-ray (digital
radiograph) findings to determine the most conservative treatment plan for your
optimal oral health.
Oral Cancer Screening: If you are a tobacco or smokeless tobacco user, you are at significant risk
of developing oral cancer. More than 8,000 deaths were attributed to oral cancer
in the past year. We are committed to the prevention of oral cancer through
the early identification of pre-cancerous conditions, and provide oral cancer
screenings at each preventive care appointment.
Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ)
Dysfunction Examination: TMJ is a condition that afflicts thousands of people. Frequent indicators of
TMJ include popping and clicking of the jaw, limited jaw function, pain in the
neck, shoulders, and upper back, and pain and pressure in the face and ears.
We provide conservative therapies that can eliminate this painful and frustrating
problem.
Occlusal Examination: The forces of your bite can sometimes affect the positioning of your jaw and
teeth. Through minor polishing of the enamel surfaces or smoothing fillings
of the teeth, Dr. Campi can help redistribute and redirect the biting forces.
Adjustments to chewing surfaces can often eliminate headaches that occur as
a result of irregular biting patterns.
