Oral health is important at every stage of life. You’re never too old to benefit from the dental services your dentist can provide. At Irvington Dental in Streamwood, Illinois, we offer dental solutions to a myriad of oral health problems you may face during your lifetime. You can count on Drs.

Why should I see a dentist regularly?
Caring for your teeth at home is important, but it doesn’t replace dental care. You need the input a dentist can provide to care for your smile. Routine checkups and cleanings allow dentists to catch and resolve problems early and even prevent them altogether to keep your smile strong and healthy at every stage of your life.
What are some signs it’s time to see a dentist?
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, extreme sensitivity, or painful chewing, it’s time to see your Streamwood, IL dentist. Your dentist should check for any issues with your teeth or gums. If you’ve had restorations in the past, routine checkups are recommended to ensure they’re functioning properly and remain in good condition. Accidental injuries that cause chipped, cracked, or broken teeth or soft tissue injuries should also be checked by your dentist.

What dental services should I never neglect?
If your goal is healthy teeth for life, routine dental care should never be neglected! Biannual dental checkups and cleanings are essential for your oral health, as they help prevent problems such as tooth decay and gum disease! Dental x-rays are also very important, as they give your dentist a chance to spot and treat hidden issues before they derail your oral health. Dental fillings nip cavities in the bud, deep cleaning helps control gum disease, and root canals put an end to severe oral infections to protect you from premature tooth loss.
What dental solutions help restore damaged teeth?
Tooth damage can compromise your smile’s function and appearance, and open the door to infection and decay. That’s why it’s important to take care of damaged teeth right away. To repair the damage, we recommend dental crowns. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over weak or compromised teeth to reinforce their structure. They restore your tooth’s original shape and color and protect it from further damage. It’s one of the best ways to restore a damaged tooth so it can continue to be used.
