The Importance of Dental Exams & Dental Cleanings in Chicago

Dental exams, teeth cleanings, and dental X-rays are routine procedures that patients of all ages should undergo regularly. Getting X-rays just once a year and dental check-ups every six months help to significantly reduce the chances of developing gum disease and cavities.

While every aspect of preventative dental care is essential to maintaining your child’s oral health, annual exams aid in the prevention of numerous issues, like bite misalignment, shifting teeth, and orthodontic concerns.

Regular exams also allow your pediatric dentist to assess your child’s oral progression on a regular basis. This ensures that any minor issues are caught early and smile development concerns are addressed at a young age. Treatments can be administered as soon as problems arise, such as small cavities, or a baby tooth that is preventing an adult tooth from safely erupting.

In addition to dental exams, at Chicago KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry we also provide dental X-rays and dental cleanings in Chicagoland. X-rays aid in treatment planning and diagnostics. Dental cleanings, or professional teeth cleanings, remove plaque and tartar from the areas of your mouth that are hard or impossible to reach with a toothbrush, such as below the gum line. This helps patients maintain good oral hygiene, which in turn protects their teeth and gum tissue.

Your Child’s First Dental Exam

If your child is anxious about visiting the dentist, bring them into Chicago KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry for a routine dental exam and cleaning. We prioritize patient comfort and focus on keeping appointments simple, straightforward, and pain free.

What to Expect at Our Dental Office

At Chicago KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry, we welcome patients into the dental office and make sure they’re comfortable when they sit down in the dental chair. Our staff is always available to answer questions to help your child feel more at ease. We also allow kids to examine the tools we use during exams so they can become familiar with what a dentist does.

Once your child is ready, we explain the process of a dental check-up and carefully assess their dental health with a thorough inspection of their gums, teeth, jaw, and mouth as a whole. After the exam, we will gently clean, polish, and floss their teeth and also clean just beneath their gum line.

Our teeth cleaning services are completely painless and should always leave your child’s mouth feeling refreshed.

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!
