Schedule Regular Dental Exams & Checkups in Chicago

Do you and your kids brush twice every day and floss at least once per day? If you do, that is great. However, dental health doesn’t end at home. A dental visit provides immeasurable value for patients. During a cleaning, our team helps protect your teeth with a variety of preventative care treatments. Fluoride, dental sealants, and professional cleanings greatly lower the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Similarly, X-rays and exams go a long way in ensuring that your teeth are healthy. The earlier a problem is noticed, the better. Dental problems get worse the longer they are ignored. And unfortunately, our teeth are not the best at warning us about problems. Oftentimes people don’t notice issues until they are already pretty bad. So if you need to schedule an exam or regular appointment, please contact our team. 

Kid-Friendly Dental Solutions in Chicago

Is your child a little nervous to see the dentist? It is not uncommon to be scared of dentists, doctors, and other medical professionals. There are a lot of factors that can contribute to anxiety. For some kids, it is truly the unfamiliarity of the experience. There are a lot of new people and new things happening all at once. It can be very helpful to explain things to kids so they know what is going on. One thing we recommend is playing dentist at home with some toys. Having your kids run through the steps of a regular dental exam with their favorite toy can help them feel confident during their visit. Another common reason for fear is the lack of control. Having someone touch your teeth can be a bit intrusive. That is why it is important to give patients agency. Some kids might want their parents to stay with them or will want a system where they can signal if they need a break. Our office is here to make sure kids are comfortable before, during, and after their appointment.
