Soft Tissue Screening

A soft tissue screening is an important part of every routine dental exam. During this quick and comfortable evaluation, your dentist carefully examines the gums, tongue, cheeks, lips, and other soft tissues of the mouth to check for any unusual changes or signs of concern.

These screenings help detect common conditions such as irritation, sores, infections, or other abnormalities early, when they are often easier to treat. They also provide an opportunity to monitor your child’s oral health as they grow and develop.

At Prime Smile Dental Office, soft tissue screenings are included as part of our comprehensive preventive care, helping us ensure your child’s smile—and overall oral health—stays healthy for years to come.
