The American Dental Association recommends you see your dental team at least two times per year. Depending on your oral health, it may be more. Your visits will include teeth cleaning and polishing, and at least one of the visits each year will include a checkup with Dr. Himanshi Thakkar. Seeing us twice a year at minimum helps us help you to keep your oral health at its optimum level … the best it can be.

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar to help prevent gum disease. They also provide the opportunity for us to give you oral hygiene instruction and tips to keep your teeth and gums at their max. Also, with regular checkups, we have a better chance of finding issues when they are still small – saving you more extensive care, time, and money. Plus, if there is anything you’d like to change about your smile, such as a chip repair, brightening your smile, covering cracks, or redoing a restoration, this is a perfect opportunity to ask this Belvidere dentist about your options!
