Preventive Care

Dentist in Norridge, IL

At DiChristofano and DiChristofano, we provide oral health services to ensure that your mouth and smile stays as healthy as possible.  Prevention and early detection of oral diseases, such as decay and gum disease, are key to maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile.  Establishing proper oral care at home is just as important as regular professional cleanings.

Our skilled team of hygienists and Norridge dentists will provide you with a thorough and gentle cleaning.  Once the cleaning is complete, your dentist will provide you with recommendations to help you maintain your best oral health.  In addition to cleanings, we also offer periodontal measuring, fluoride treatment, and sealants to help you preserve your health and maintain a bright and beautiful smile.

Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, clear coatings that are applied to certain tooth surfaces to help protect it from tooth decay.  Dental sealants are ideal for children or teens that have teeth without fillings.

A dental sealant is applied to certain surfaces of a tooth to prevent germs and debris from getting trapped in the grooves of the tooth. The application of dental sealants is a very short and simple process. When paired with proper professional and at-home dental care, sealants can be a very effective way to prevent decay.  Sealants are very discrete and are usually undetectable.

If you are interested in sealants or wish to set up an appointment, please contact us.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatments are helpful in the prevention of tooth demineralization and cavity formation.  Our dentist in Norridge will be able to recommend whether a fluoride treatment is right for you.
