Chicago Dentist Cleanings & Prevention - Chicago Dental Care

According to Chicago Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Bagai, preventative maintenance is the best way to protect yourself from periodontal disease and tooth decay. Dr. Bagai recommends a preventative schedule that includes regular cleanings with a dental hygienist every four to six months. In addition to regular cleanings, there is much that you can achieve at home – starting with a balanced diet that avoids (or enjoys in moderation) highly acidic foods, wines, coffee and large amounts of refined sugar. Good oral hygiene can also be achieved with a disciplined brushing and flossing schedule.

Dr. Bagai suggests that in additional to regularly scheduled cleanings, dental exams should also include x-rays, and a thorough check of your gum line and problem areas as well as applications of sealants and fluorides to help protect your teeth.

As with anything, prevention is cost effective, less stressful than dealing with a problem after it becomes a problem.
