Patient Background
Ms. Tartar Queen (name changed to protect patient’s privacy), a 34-year-old female, called Sekhon Dental – Dentist Agoura Hills after she read our Google reviews to schedule a dental visit. After inquiring, she informed us that she hadn’t been to the dentist for over 4 years due to a demanding work schedule, personal challenges and dental anxiety. She expressed significant embarrassment about her dental condition and sought help to restore both her oral health and confidence.
Initial Assessment
On her initial visit, we took her X-rays, intra-oral pictures, and performed a regular teeth cleaning. Dr. Sekhon examined her, performed an oral cancer screening, and answered all her questions. Ms. Tartar Queen exhibited severe plaque buildup, stains, visible cavities, and signs of gum inflammation. X-rays revealed several decayed teeth requiring immediate attention. She expressed concern about the aesthetics of her smile due to discoloration, decay and dental anxiety. Dr. Sekhon spent a lot of time with Ms. Tartar Queen to determine the root-cause of her dental anxiety and fear. Dr. Sekhon removed all her dental fear and anxiety by actively listening, establishing open and transparent communication, building trust and empowering her to make an informed and best decision.
Treatment Plan
Dr. Sekhon prepared a personalized treatment plan, which consisted of the followings:
- Comprehensive Cleaning and Scaling:
- A thorough cleaning and scaling session were conducted to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, improving gum health.
- Restorative Dentistry:
- Multiple composite fillings were placed to repair decayed teeth, restoring their function and appearance.
- Root canal therapy was performed on severely affected teeth to save them from extraction.
- Cosmetic Dentistry:
