extra/oral exams

the extra/oral exams were quite interesting. In all the years I have been going to the dentist, I have never had an extra/ oral exam. I think that to have this part of the exam done before doing vitals would be a good way to help the patient to relax a bit and feel a little more comfortable about being at the dentist. I do think that some consideration needs to be made for ladies that have a set hair style that the clinician not push themselves up so far that the patient's head is rubbing up against their tummy, smashing and dragging their hair around as they move around the patient. Some ladies pay to have their hair done and can only afford to have it done every week or two so they are trying to make it last as long as possible.
