Preventive Dentistry is an Easy, Affordable Method of Stopping Dental Problems

Preventive dental care is a collaborative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental team to preserve healthy smiles. Preventive oral care starts at home with good oral hygiene and a healthy diet. This care continues in our office through the efforts of our dentist and dental hygienist. Preventive dentistry at Dentalogic in Oak Lawn, Illinois, includes routine check-ups, cleanings, and x-rays. 

Put your healthy smile forward with preventive dental care

Prevention helps avoid costly and painful dental issues and is the cornerstone of a healthy, happy smile. We offer the services below to help preserve your beautiful smile.

• Dental cleanings: We appreciate your good work at home with brushing and flossing. However, your at-home dental care can only do so much. Your teeth are riddled with hidden spots that can’t be accessed with home dental tools. Professional cleanings remove built-in plaque and tartar from below and above the gum line to keep your mouth issue-free. Professional cleanings also remove surface stains for a radiant-looking smile.
• Dental exams: A professional check of your mouth helps identify signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, failing dental work, and other dental problems. Regular dental exams help us identify oral problems early on to devise a treatment plan before the issue progresses. We advise patients to visit a dentist at least two times annually to protect their smile.
• Digital X-rays: We often order dental X-rays to identify issues hidden from the naked eye. Dental X-rays help unearth issues like cysts, impacted wisdom teeth, tumors, bone loss, etc. Our digital X-rays emit minimal radiation, so you don’t have to worry about their safety. 

Everyone deserves preventive care! Proactive dental care protects your smile and overall health from numerous issues. It also saves you costly bills down the line. 

Take control of your oral health with preventive dentistry
