Our emergency dental care page lists the first steps to take. Keep broken pieces and bring them with you.
Keeping Your Smile Healthy Between Visits
A checkup every six months works well for most people. Between visits, brush twice a day and floss once a day.
If your kids play sports at Hodges Park or school, a mouthguard protects their teeth. The American Dental Association explains how mouthguards help. We check mouthguard fit at every visit for the dentist Park Ridge families rely on close to home.
