At Premier Dentistry at Millennium Park, we emphasize patient education and look forward to answering any questions you might have related to your dental health. We recommend that our patients visit our Chicago dentist office once every six months for routine preventative care. During these visits, we encourage you to ask questions to best utilize your time in our office. During your next routine dental appointment, consider asking any of the following questions:
How can I improve my oral hygiene?
During your routine dental appointments, you will receive a thorough dental cleaning from one of our talented dental hygienists. They will remove any plaque or tartar buildup surrounding your gum line to prevent the progression of gum disease or tooth decay development.
Based on the location and the amount of buildup on your smile, your hygienist can tell which spots you may be missing when brushing or flossing your teeth. Ask them to let you know which areas of your smile that you need to spend extra time cleaning during your at-home oral hygiene routine. This allows you to make improvements to your routine to prevent buildup from occurring in the first place. You may also feel free to ask your hygienist questions about proper flossing techniques, how to brush with an electronic toothbrush, or what ingredients to look for when buying mouthwash.
I have a dental concern. What are my treatment options?
Following your dental cleaning, one of our experienced dentists will perform a dental exam of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. During this time, you should voice any dental concerns that you may have, even if you’ve experienced them outside of the dentist’s office. Toothaches, jaw pain, tension headaches, loose teeth, or bleeding gums should be reported to your dentist so they can factor in all of your symptoms while designing a treatment plan that best meets your needs.
They will examine your smile to determine the underlying cause of your dental concerns and offer you a treatment plan based on your needs and goals. Our team will go over the treatment plan with you in detail so that you know what to expect every step of the way. There is rarely a dental concern that we cannot treat in our Chicago dentist office.
What are your cosmetic dentistry recommendations?
If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile, you should voice these concerns to your dentist as well. Our Chicago dentist office offers cosmetic dentistry services to help patients restore their confidence. Whether you are looking to conceal minor smile blemishes or you want to achieve a complete smile makeover, our dentists have the expertise needed to help you achieve your dream smile.
If you have any questions about your cosmetic dentistry options, or if you would like to become a patient at Premier Dentistry, our team is happy to help. Call 312-481-6859 or schedule a dental exam and consultation with Dr. Stein or Dr. Brand today.
