Preventive Dentistry

Preventative dentistry focuses on preventing oral health problems before they cause significant pain, necessitate restoration and cause discomfort.  Our preventive dental services range from fluoride treatments that safeguard tooth enamel to protective dental sealants, deep cleanings, x-rays to pinpoint cavities between the teeth and more. 

Though you can floss and brush your teeth at home on your own to prevent cavities and other oral health problems, you need professional dental treatment at least once every six months for comprehensive preventative care.  Give us a call today at (630) 665-7350 to schedule your preventative dentistry appointment and you’ll rest easy knowing you’ve done your part to prevent cavities, gum disease, the need for extractions and more.

The prevention of gum disease and other oral health problems is essential to preserving your dental health across the remainder of your life.  Preventative dental care should begin as soon as the age of one or even when the first tooth emerges through your child’s gums.  Our preventative dental care includes evaluations, cleanings, x-rays and more, each of which helps delay or even completely prevent the need for restorative and cosmetic treatments down the line.  Home dental care performed on your own accompanied by six-month visits at our practice lay a foundation for continued oral health and beauty, ensuring your teeth and gums age gracefully.
