The Oral Examination Summary and Post-Test

Key messages to take away from this course:

  • Oral, face, and neck exam of infants, children, and adults can be readily performed in a primary care setting.
  • Clinicians should perform a consistent and thorough oral examination.
  • Exam of the face, mouth, and neck should include a trauma informed approach.
  • The knee-to-knee technique provides an effective, nonthreatening way to examine the oral cavity of infants and children.
  • Be mindful of high risk areas in the perioral and oral cavity.
  • Clinicians should facilitate a good exam for special populations—through referral if necessary.
