\"TheAs your family dentist in Lisle, <\/span>Dr. Frank Marchese<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Dr. Jeanelle Marchese<\/span><\/a> want to help you enjoy the ultimate in oral health and wellness. The key to both is maintaining good hygiene at home and visiting our office regularly for <\/span>checkups and cleanings<\/span><\/a>. When we see your smile every six months, we are better able to catch issues like decay, fractures, gum disease, and even oral cancer almost as soon as they develop. Whatever the problem, early detection helps us provide the most conservative treatment possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you choose a family dentist like Dr. Marchese, you and your loved ones benefit from a number of advantages. Taking the whole family to the same dentist ensures everyone receives quality care. And if you have young children who are reluctant to open wide, you may find they are more willing to visit the dentist if it\u2019s one they know their whole family trusts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Checkups and Cleanings for Long Lasting Smiles<\/span><\/h2>\n

During a six month visit to Arbor Dental Care, our hygiene team will thoroughly clean your teeth, take X-rays, check the depth of any periodontal pockets that can indicate gum disease, and then provide important pointers to help you achieve a more thorough clean at home. After the cleaning is complete, Dr. Marchese will examine any X-rays we have taken and then look closely at your teeth and all oral structures for any irregularities that indicate the need for further treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n

If we find something is a little bit off during the exam, we will put together a plan to help you receive the follow-up care you need to maintain a happy smile. If everything is a-ok, we\u2019ll schedule a time for you to return, usually in about six months, and then send you on your way! <\/span><\/p>\n

Regular Oral Cancer Screenings Aid in Early Detection<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to the cleaning and exam, your dentist will also likely recommend you have an oral cancer screening at least annually. Incidence of oral cancer is <\/span>on the rise<\/span><\/a> in the United States and around the world, which means that the need for preventive screenings is more significant than ever. <\/span><\/p>\n

An oral cancer screening is a visual and tactile exam that can be completed within minutes at the end of your regular preventive visit. You and your dentist will discuss your oral health, including any irregularities or changes you may have noticed recently. Then, we\u2019ll take a look inside and outside of your mouth, also feeling around for any lumps or bumps. <\/span><\/p>\n
