Understanding what occurs during a dental exam and cleaning can significantly reduce anxiety associated with dental visits. At Auburn Hills Dental, we prioritize transparency and patient comfort, ensuring that each visit is a seamless experience.

Upon arrival at our office located at 3308 Auburn Rd, Auburn Hills, MI, patients are greeted by our friendly staff. The first step involves checking in and completing any necessary paperwork, if not done in advance. This initial interaction sets a positive tone for the visit, allowing patients to feel at ease.

During the exam, a trained dental hygienist takes the lead, guiding patients through the entire process. Here is a step-by-step overview of what to expect:

• Medical History Review: The hygienist will ask about any changes in medical history, medications, or dental concerns since the last visit.
• Dental Cleaning: An ultrasonic cleaner and hand instruments are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth. This step helps maintain gum health and prevents decay.
• Polishing: Following the cleaning, a polishing paste is applied to remove surface stains, giving a fresh and clean feel to the teeth.
• Comprehensive Exam: Dr. Joseph Sheena conducts a thorough examination, checking for cavities, gum disease, and any other dental issues. Digital X-rays may be taken if necessary.
• Consultation: After the examination process is complete, Dr. Sheena will discuss the findings with the patient, addressing any concerns and recommending treatment options tailored to individual needs.
• Oral Hygiene Education: Patients receive personalized advice on how to maintain optimal oral hygiene at home, including the best brushing and flossing techniques.
