Professional Teeth Cleaning Services Offered to Patients From Lockport, IL

Getting regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings is essential to maintaining oral health for adults of any age and for children whose baby teeth have come in. But did you know that routine teeth cleanings can help you save money? In the long run, the time and money you spend on routine dental visits and cleanings can prevent cavities and other forms of tooth decay as well as bacterial infections that can lead to tooth loss. Neglected teeth and gums can lead to health conditions that require far more expensive treatment than dental cleanings.

At Lakota Dental, a family dental practice located near Lockport, Illinois, we take pride in offering preventative dental services, including oral exams and teeth cleanings. For most of our patients, a prophylaxis treatment—a preventative cleaning that focuses on the teeth at and above the gumline—is the most appropriate professional oral hygiene service. However, we also offer deep teeth cleanings that include scaling and planing below the gumline to halt ongoing periodontitis, an advanced stage of gum disease.
