We’ve been pretty busy at Family Dental Care Park Ridge since April 1st (and no…this is no joke).  We are committed, as many in the dental community are, to making people aware that April is Oral Cancer Awareness month and how extremely important it is for everyone to have regular oral cancer exams.  We take [...]

  You know how some things come in waves in your life?  Well, we find the same thing happens at Family Dental Care Park Ridge as well.  Recently, we have been seeing a lot of patients who are excited to tell us about their good brushing techniques…and these good brushing techniques turn out to mean, [...]
