Family Dental Care Park Ridge

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 this very seriously.  So seriously, in fact, that all of our patients received this email in late March.  You see, for the entire month of April, we are offering FREE oral cancer exams to anyone.  Yes FREE.  To anyone.  You don’t have to be a patient.  You just need to want to be proactive in your oral health.  

It is QUICK (less than five (5) minutes).  It is painless (no needles, no kidding).  It is free (as in NO money required).  

AND, it brings you immediate peace of mind.

So, why wait.  Give our office a call ( 847-692-6800 ).  Richard will be happy to let you know the days and hours we are open.  Or email us at info@ParkRidgeDDS.com .  

Knowledge is power.

And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!

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, they are brushing very hard.  

It’s time to clear up the misunderstanding here, once and for all…

Brushing well does not mean brushing hard. 

In today’s Word of Mouth Wednesday, we talk about the important difference between brushing hard and brushing well.  Knowledge is power!

If you have any questions about the correct way to brush your teeth or you have any other dentally related questions, please call us at 847-692-6800 or email us at info@ParkRidgeDDS.com and we will be happy to help!  

And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!

If you could see me right now, you would see that I am practically jumping up and down in excitement over today’s Word of Mouth Wednesday video. Not only is Family Dental Care Park Ridge lucky to have Mary Kaye Lavorato as our amazing dental hygienist, but she also agreed to talk about a subject that she takes very seriously (although she is going to make you laugh in the video)…bleeding gums and what they mean. 

If you have any questions about bleeding gums or any other dental related topics, please give us a call at  847-692-6800 or email us at info@ParkRidgeDDS.com and we would be happy to help!

And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!

This past week, Richard, Office Manager Extraordinaire, shared some information that he had received from the insurance company, Delta Dental of Illinois.  It seems that this is the second annual statewide recognition of Dentist By 1 , a campaign to promote the education of parents and caregivers on the importance of having children seen by the dentist by the time that they are one year old or six months after the child’s first tooth has erupted.   In Illinois, the average child does not see the dentist until they are 3 1/2 years old!  So many preventable problems can be avoided if children are seen by the dentist by the time they are one.

Today’s Word of Mouth Wednesday video incorporates a video that was created by Dr. Lance Lambert, a Pediatric Dentist, who shares why it is so important for young children to be taken to the dentist and he demonstrates what happens during the visit with the dentist.  This video is very interesting and informative.  I am grateful to Dr. Lambert  and Dentist by 1 for putting this extremely helpful video together!

Enjoy!

And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!

I don’t know about you, but when I see the word insurance, my mind becomes fuzzy and I stare blankly like a “deer in the headlights”.  Well, fortunately there are people like Richard Neufeld who happen to really understand the ins and outs of insurance…and in particular, dental insurance.  And Family Dental Care Park Ridge is grateful beyond words that Richard is our Office Manager Extraordinaire!  And that he wanted to step in front of the camera via Word of Mouth Wednesday and help eliminate the mystery in understanding your dental insurance!   If you have any dental insurance questions or dentally related questions, please give us a call at 847-692-6800 or email us at info@ParkRidgeDDS.com and we would be happy to help!

First of all…..

Word of Mouth Wednesday is BACK!!!!

Okay, got that out of the way!

Thank you for your patience and for knowing that we would, indeed, eventually resume our Word of Mouth Wednesday feature!  Family Dental Care Park Ridge has been in our new location for just under a year now and we absolutely love our office.  One of the perks  of having a larger office is that there is plenty of room to do our videos so, most of our future Word of Mouth Wednesday videos will be done here at our office.

The topic for our comeback video is tori to honor Gini Dietrich who, way back in June, posted on our Facebook Wall:

“I have a question for your videos: What is a torri and should it be removed?”

So, Gini, this one is for you!

If, after viewing this video, you have further questions about tori or any other dental related issue, please feel free to email us at info @ParkRidgeDDS.com or give our office a call.  We would be happy to help you!

And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!

Howdy pardners….yep, it’s true! We’re back in the saddle again.

Most of you that know me, know that I almost always have a song playing in my head and this past week, as we accelerate the work at the new space, the song that is happily playing in there is Gene Autry’s Back in the Saddle Again. Because, that’s how it feels. After pumping those brakes and readjusting our focus, we are really chomping at the bit to get our doors open to you, our patient friends.

You and I can talk all day long about the lessons that we learn in patience.  In biding our time.  We can commiserate over unexpected challenges.

OR

We can celebrate the giddy feeling we get when we know life is good.

So, watch both of the video’s that I am sharing with you today…they are short and they are definitely sweet.

And remember, as always….we LOVE to make you smile!
