Dental Cleanings and Exams in Palos Heights, IL

Preventative Dental Care – Dental Check-Ups at Chicago KiDDS

An effective dental care routine involves regular dental check-ups and professional teeth cleanings. At-home care like brushing your teeth every day, flossing, and using mouthwash are also important to your dental health. However, when you go to the dental office for a comprehensive check-up, it allows your dentist to identify issues before they can become serious problems.

Dental cleanings at your pediatric dentist help reduce plaque buildup on your child’s teeth, even in hard to reach places like between teeth and underneath the gum line. Patients should visit the dentist about every six months for professional cleanings and exams.

Dental exams allow your dentist to assess the health of your child’s teeth and gums, as well as locate any dental issues or potential problems that may have gone unnoticed otherwise. Some examples include gum disease, bite misalignment, hidden cavities, adult teeth that are emerging at awkward angles, etc.

When your dentist is able to identify and address these types of problems early, it saves the patient a lot of time in the dental chair, and protects their future oral health.

Teeth Cleanings

When you visit Chicago KiDDS for a teeth cleaning, your child’s teeth and gums will be thoroughly examined and any areas that might need special attention will be identified beforehand, such as sections of overcrowded teeth.

A scaling tool will be used to remove plaque from between teeth, near the gum line, and other hard to reach places. Teeth are then flossed and polished to help remove minor stains and add shine.

Dental Exams

In-office visits are vital to ensuring children maintain optimal dental health. In addition to professional teeth cleanings, dental exams involve your dentist carefully looking over your teeth, gums, and jaw, and searching for irregularities or signs of tooth decay, gum disease, cancer, etc. Minor issues can be addressed early, and your dentist will be able to assess your child’s dental development.

Depending on your child’s needs, your dentist may recommend dental X-rays to see the structure of their mouth and teeth more clearly.

We were recently in the Chicago area visiting family when my 5 yr old son chipped a tooth while playing with his cousins. My sister-in-law called Chicago Kidds (her kid's dentist) to see if they could see my son on short notice. Not only did they squeeze him in on what appeared to be a very busy day, the staff was very friendly and they did a great job fixing the tooth. Thanks Chicago Kidds, you guys are awesome!
