Dental Exams in Salem, OR

At King Dental, we want to see you at least twice a year for a dental exam. Generally part of your dental cleaning, exams help Dr. King spot problems and compare changes from your previous appointment.

Dental exams are an important part of your dental health. Exams allow Dr. King to have a continuous relationship with your mouth. With regular exams, Dr. King is able to note changes as they occur. He will look for warning signs including changes in your jaw alignment, teeth shifting and excessive decay. These are all things that can be stopped, adjusted and your teeth can be restored.
