'The Routine Check-Up' - The Breakdown

‘How does a routine general dental examination work in the real world?’, asks Emma, our Protrusive student episode, 'The Routine Check-Up' - The Breakdown. The humble ‘check-up’ - as far as you can get from sexy before and after cases. The stuff no one is posting about on socials…until now!

Jaz and Emma dissect a ‘routine oral health exam’ and Jaz even includes a full video of a standard check-up, complete with the banter, bitewings and bad explanations! ;) [Thanks to our awesome patient, George, who consented for us to use his video for educational and social media purposes!).
