Cleanings & Exams

At My Daytona Dental, we believe the foundation of a healthy smile is routine preventive care. That’s why we offer thorough dental exams and professional cleanings designed to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition—while catching potential issues early, before they become costly or painful.

Whether you’re a new patient or a long-time member of our dental family, our goal is to make every visit comfortable, informative, and personalized. From our friendly front desk staff to our gentle hygienists and experienced dentist, we’re here to support your oral health at every stage of life.


What to Expect at Your Dental Exam

Every new patient at My Daytona Dental receives a comprehensive oral exam with Dr. Sandeep V. Patel. This in-depth evaluation gives us a complete picture of your dental health and allows us to create a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to you.

Your exam includes:

  • Digital X-rays – We use advanced digital radiography to capture detailed images with up to 70% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. These help us detect cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other concerns that aren’t visible to the naked eye.

    • Now incorporating AI technology: To further enhance accuracy, we utilize cutting-edge artificial intelligence to analyze your digital X-rays alongside Dr. Patel’s expertise. This innovative approach provides an additional layer of verification—helping us identify even subtle changes earlier and with greater confidence.

  • Intraoral Photographs – Using a small camera, we take high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, which allows us to show you exactly what we see and involve you more in your treatment planning.

  • Gum Health Assessment – We check for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

  • Oral Cancer Screening – As part of our commitment to total wellness, we perform a quick and painless visual screening for early signs of oral cancer.

After the exam, Dr. Patel will review your findings with you in detail. We’ll discuss any diagnosed conditions, answer your questions, and explain all available treatment options, so you can make informed decisions about your care.


Professional Dental Cleanings

Our talented and compassionate dental hygienists, Laurie and Katie, play a vital role in helping you maintain your smile between visits. During your cleaning appointment, they will:

  • Gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline

  • Polish your teeth to remove surface stains and smooth enamel

  • Review your home care routine and provide personalized tips for better brushing, flossing, or product use

  • Track changes in your gum health over time

Laurie and Katie are more than just hygienists—they’re your partners in prevention. Over time, you’ll get to know them as a friendly and familiar part of your ongoing dental care.
