General Consultation
A general consultation at Karen Dental Clinic is more than a check-up—it’s a step toward personalized, expert care.
The Foundation of Excellent Oral Health
At Karen Dental Clinic in Nairobi, we believe that preventive care begins with thorough dental consultations. Our comprehensive approach allows us to understand your unique dental needs, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan that puts you on the path to optimal oral health.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
A general dental consultation at Karen Dental Clinic is much more than a quick check-up. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your dental history, and establish a relationship built on trust and open communication.
Comprehensive Examination
Your consultation includes:
- Detailed Oral Examination: We carefully inspect your teeth, gums, tongue, and soft tissues for any signs of concern.
- Digital X-rays (when necessary): Our low-radiation digital x-rays provide crucial information about areas not visible during a visual examination.
- Periodontal Evaluation: We assess your gum health, as gum disease can often progress silently without obvious symptoms.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection saves lives, which is why we perform thorough screenings during consultations.
- Bite and Jaw Assessment: We check for signs of TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and alignment issues that could cause problems down the road.
- Existing Dental Work Review: We evaluate the condition of fillings, crowns, and other dental work to identify potential issues before they become emergencies.
