The Road to RDH: Intra Oral Exams!

We learned the intraoral exam! That is what my group project is on in Hammond's so it will be helpful to understand it more! Our mouths are amazing, there are so many different variations of normal that I just find fascinating. (Melanin pigmentation, geographic tongue, etc.) I had never heard of any of these variations before school, but they are so common! Every single one of these conditions is present in at least one student of my dental hygiene class! We also learned gingival descriptions which, coupled with probe depths, are essential for diagnosing gum disease! 

Below is a photo from a video we made for our presentation!
