Checkups & Cleanings

The American Dental Association recommends taking your child for their first dental visit by the time their first tooth arrives, which is often around their first birthday. Then, scheduling a routine checkup and cleaning every six months allows our team near Wheeling to monitor their condition so we can catch and treat any areas of concern, like thinning enamel or swollen gums, before they progress.

We try to ensure their visit is a positive one and also take the time to help them learn the value of proper preventive dental care and how to keep their teeth and gums clean at home.

Emergency Kid’s Dentistry

It’s not uncommon for kids to develop oral issues, like cavities, gum disease, or injuries, that might hurt. If your child seems distressed, especially when biting or chewing, or has communicated that they are hurting, you can contact our office near Wheeling for a same-day emergency appointment. We’ll schedule a time to see your family and may also provide additional care instructions over the phone that can help ease their ache until you arrive.

Then, we’ll examine their mouth and might take X-rays or other scans to identify the underlying issue to devise a personalized treatment plan to meet their unique needs.

Cosmetic Dentistry

One of the first things people notice about someone is the quality of your smile, and if your teenager has stained teeth, they might worry about being judged for their appearance. Instead of turning to over-the-counter whiteners, which are often diluted, can cause sensitivity, or don’t produce consistent results, you can contact our office near Wheeling for a teeth bleaching consultation.

If your teen is 15 or older, we’re happy to provide a take-home kit with everything your child needs to lighten their grin and boost their confidence. For instance, we include custom-fitted application trays for enhanced accuracy and ultra-concentrated gels designed to mitigate potential sensitivity.

Restorative Dentistry

If your child adopts healthy habits, like brushing consistently and coming in every six months for a checkup, then there’s a good chance that they won’t develop a cavity. With that said, a little over 90% of Americans have had a cavity by their 21^st birthday, so it’s likely that some type of restorative dentistry will be needed over the years. Fortunately, we take a conservative approach and utilize materials that don’t compromise on appearance or function. In other words, we can restore the health of your child’s tooth without drawing any unwanted attention to their smile.

Special Needs Dentistry

Children and teens with different intellectual or physical disabilities may face certain oral health challenges or risks as a result of their condition. Fortunately, at our office near Wheeling, Dr. Capezio has completed specialized training to understand how to help meet their unique needs. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office, and we can discuss your child’s upcoming appointment and methods to help ensure its success.

Adolescent Dentistry

In their teen years, your child might feel like they are “too old” to visit a pediatric dentist. In reality, it’s more important than ever that they visit one. After all, these specialists undergo advanced training on issues that adolescents face, like impacted wisdom teeth. Our dedicated dental team near Arlington Heights is also here to provide treatments that maintain and enhance their smiles too, including routine checkups and dental bonding. Simply put, we’re here to help with all of your teen’s dental needs and smile goals!
