What a dental exam in Lawrenceville, NJ checks
At Deluxe Dentistry & Esthetics, 100 Federal City Rd, Suite 104B, in Lawrence Township, Dr. Maxim Godko, an 8-Time Top Doctor, and his team check every tooth and restoration, every gum pocket, your bite and jaw joints and the soft tissues of your mouth, with an oral cancer screening and only the digital x-rays you need, reviewed with you. Anything the exam finds is explained with its cost before treatment. 800+ five-star reviews; new patients welcome.
What your exam includes
No vague “comprehensive exam.” Here is exactly what is checked, and why it matters. For more on what checkups catch, see the ADA’s guides to tooth decay and oral cancer.

Every tooth and every existing filling, crown or bridge is examined and charted, so changes can be tracked from one visit to the next.

The pocket depth around every tooth is measured. Healthy pockets are 1 to 3 mm; deeper readings are an early sign of gum disease, and you hear the numbers.

Your lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, throat and floor of mouth are checked by sight and by touch at every exam. It’s part of the visit, not an add-on.
About oral cancer screening
Your jaw joints are checked for clicking, popping or pain, and your teeth for signs of grinding and clenching.
About nightguards
Digital x-rays appear on a chairside monitor almost instantly, and you see what they show. They use less radiation than film x-rays, and you only get the ones you need.
About digital x-rays
You hear what’s going on, how urgent it is, your options and what each costs. Then you decide, with a plan that respects your goals, timeline and budget.

Why checkups pay off
A small cavity caught early is a quick, simple filling. Ignore it for two years and it can turn into a root canal, a crown and even an extraction, which cost far more in time and money.
Caught at a checkup
A small fix
A tooth-colored filling
Ignored for two years
A much bigger repair
