As a dentist in Chicago, we believe in the old saying “prevention is
better than cure”. Every one of our patients gets the benefit of a
dentist who spends time on oral hygiene education along with providing
tips for preventing cavities and infections. While providing
preventative care, we practice a form of holistic dental medicine. We
will spend as long as it takes to ensure that your teeth remain clean,
diseases free, and in the best shape possible, so that you never have to
experience a dental emergency or a situation where medical intervention
is required.
Naturally if a situation does arise where we
have to provide you with intervention, the best place to be is with a
dentist in Chicago. We will bring all of our experience to bear so that
we can cure whatever ails you as fast and as efficiently as possible.
Once we have rid you of the dental problem, we can turn our attention to
assuring that the problem never reoccurs. To do this, we will give you
all the tools you need. The most powerful of all tools that any medical
provider can give you is information. The better informed you are, the
more likely it is that you will make the right choices for your teeth.
As
a dentist in Chicago, we know that the information age has made things
far more accessible to everyone, which has in a sense taken away the
personal touch. We love it when a patient comes to our office Chicago
with questions, so the internet is definitely a great resource. As long
as you are using the internet as a way to supplement information, and to
know when it is time to call us for help, it can be an outstanding
tool. For those seeking better ways of caring for their teeth, the same
is true. Where it becomes challenging is when the information online is
highly technical or confusing. What you need to remember is twofold.
First, the internet has a massive size and scope. Each day there are
millions of people around the world searching for a million things. As
people look for everything from dental crowns to baseball caps, there
are an equal number of websites and experts that offer advice. This
leads to the second thing you should remember. None of the people online
is addressing your needs specifically because they are writing for a
broader audience.
There is only one place for you to get the kind
of personalised information you need to make important dental and oral
health decisions, and that is with your dentist. Nothing beats being
able to talk to a medical provider face to face when you want to have
answers about your dental health. As a dentist in Chicago, we provide
information about oral health on our blog but always suggest visiting
our office for an official diagnosis so that we can provide you with
details about your health and create a treatment plan that is designed
to fit your needs.
