Regular dental checkups are crucial for maintaining good oral health. They allow for early detection of potential issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Preventive care can save time, money, and discomfort in the long run. We recommend visiting every six months. Schedule your cleaning today.

What should I do in case of a dental emergency?

+

Call Art Dentistree immediately at 630-793-1195. For a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown, rinse gently, and try to reinsert it or store it in milk — time is critical. For a broken tooth, rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress. We offer same-day emergency appointments. Visit our emergency dentistry page for more guidance.

What are the signs of gum disease?

+

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early detection and treatment are vital. If you notice any of these symptoms, call us at 630-793-1195 right away. We offer scaling and root planing for gum disease treatment.

What is the best way to whiten my teeth?

+

Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective method — delivering results far superior to over-the-counter products. Dr. Tarannum Marya offers professional teeth whitening in Westmont, IL. Call us to find out which option is right for you.

How often should I brush and floss my teeth?

+

Brush at least twice a day and floss daily. This removes plaque and prevents tooth decay and gum disease. Using a fluoride toothpaste and replacing your toothbrush every 3 months is also recommended.

Why are dental X-rays necessary?

+

Dental X-rays help us detect issues not visible to the naked eye — including impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts, tumors, and decay between teeth. Art Dentistree uses advanced i-CAT™ 3D imaging technology for the most accurate diagnosis.

Can dental problems lead to other health issues?

+

Yes. Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications, and respiratory disease. Your mouth is a window to your overall health — maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for your whole body, not just your teeth.

How can I prevent tooth decay and cavities?

+

Regular brushing and flossing, reducing sugar intake, drinking fluoridated water, and visiting Art Dentistree every six months for professional cleanings are the best ways to prevent decay and cavities.

What are dental sealants and who should get them?

+

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay. They are especially beneficial for children and teenagers but can also be effective for adults. Ask Dr. Marya if sealants are right for your family.

Is it necessary to use mouthwash?

+

Mouthwash is a helpful addition to your oral hygiene routine but not a substitute for brushing and flossing. It can reduce plaque, help prevent gingivitis, and freshen breath. Ask Dr. Marya which type is best for your specific needs.
