Preventive Dentistry Joliet
Preventive Dental Services
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for your overall health, and regular professional teeth cleanings play a vital role in achieving this. However, many adults hesitate to visit the dentist due to fear or concern about pain or discomfort during the cleaning process. Fortunately, at Smile League Dental, pain-free gentle professional cleaning is now a reality, offering a stress-free way to keep your teeth and gums in top shape. Whether you choose to use nitrous gas, listening to music, watching some Netflix movies, or You-tube channels, etc, to help you relax through the cleaning procedure, our staff at Smile League Dental will support and help you, through it all.
What are The Health Benefits of Regular Cleanings?
Beyond aesthetics, professional cleanings are vital for:
- Preventing Gum Disease: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation and eventually gum disease. Pain-free cleaning helps remove these deposits before they become a problem.
- Avoiding Tooth Decay: Regular cleanings eliminate the bacteria that cause cavities, saving you from more intensive dental procedures later.
- Heart Health: According to American Heart Association research Oral Health has shown a link between gum disease and heart problems. By keeping your gums healthy, you are also protecting your heart.
- Fresher Breath: Removing plaque and tartar contributes to fresher breath, boosting your confidence.
The Technology Behind Pain-Free Cleanings
Advances in dental technology have revolutionized the cleaning process. Some key innovations include:
- Ultrasonic Scalers: These devices use vibrations to remove tartar with minimal pressure on your teeth and gums, making the process more comfortable.
- Topical Anesthetics: For patients with extreme sensitivity, numbing gels or topical anesthetics can be applied to ensure a completely pain-free experience.
- Nitrous Gas: Nitrous oxide (N₂O), commonly known as laughing gas, is widely used in dentistry as a sedative and analgesic agent. It helps patients relax and reduces pain and anxiety during dental procedures. Nitrous oxide is a useful tool that we have available to you, for creating a more comfortable experience, especially for patients with dental anxiety.
Would my PPO insurance cover my cleaning and X-ray at 100%?
Because insurances know regular cleaning is preventive and would help to prevent bigger dental problems which would in turn cost more, most PPO insurances cover routine regular cleanings and X-rays at 100%. However, if you have PPO insurance, check to make sure they cover this preventive service at 100%. You can also give us a call at (815) 782-6243 to help you check what benefits your insurance covers, after you give us information such as your group ID, member ID, subscribers name and subscribers date of birth.
Long-Term Benefits of Regular Pain-Free Cleanings
By opting for pain-free cleanings, you can stay on top of your oral health without the dread. Regular cleanings help:
