Preventive dentistry is the foundation of long-lasting oral health. At Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we help patients of all ages keep their smiles strong, clean, and cavity-free through proactive care. Rather than waiting for issues to arise, our preventive approach focuses on early detection, regular maintenance, and education to stop dental problems before they become serious—or expensive.

Our preventive services include professional dental cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings, and dental sealants for children and cavity-prone teeth. We also offer custom night guards for patients who grind their teeth and routine checkups to monitor gum health. Each visit is tailored to your needs and focuses on comfort, efficiency, and thoroughness.

We believe patient education is just as important as treatment. During your appointment, our team will guide you on the best at-home care techniques and dietary habits to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.

Prevention saves more than just your smile—it saves time, money, and discomfort in the long run. If it’s been a while since your last dental visit, or if you want to avoid future problems, give us a call at (773) 205-9900 and book your preventive care appointment today.

Benefits

The Benefits of Preventive Dentistry

Stops Problems Before They Start

Routine exams and cleanings catch issues early, helping you avoid cavities, infections, and major dental work.

Keeps Your Smile Bright

Professional cleanings remove plaque and stains that brushing can’t, leaving your smile fresh and polished.

Saves Time and Money

Preventive care is far more affordable and efficient than treating advanced dental conditions or undergoing emergency procedures.

Supports Total Health

Good oral hygiene reduces your risk of gum disease, which is linked to heart issues, diabetes, and more.

What Our Patients Say

Hear from real patients who received fast, compassionate, and expert emergency dental care—restoring their smiles and relieving their pain when they needed it most.

I was out of town (I live in California) and had a dental emergency late in the afternoon and was lucky enough to find this clinic. From the moment I called, the staff was responsive and incredibly helpful. They got me in quickly and Dr. Mohs was both professional and compassionate. They explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. From someone who has had many unpleasant experiences at the Dentist, I’m so grateful for how quickly they were able to check me in and help me during this time. If you ever have a dental emergency or need any urgent, last-minute dental care, I highly recommend this place!

I had an exceptional experience at Emergency Dentist of Chicago. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly kind, professional, and efficient. I was in a lot of pain and nervous, but they made me feel comfortable and taken care of every step of the way. The dentist explained everything clearly, took their time with the procedure, and ensured I was as comfortable as possible. The care I received was not only fast and effective, but also genuinely compassionate—which is rare to find during an emergency situation. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of urgent dental care. You’ll be in good hands!

When I arrived at this practice I wasn’t sure what to think, but all I knew was I had a Dental Emergency and it seemed like they would probably be the right place for me during my time of crisis. Boy did that turn out to be the case! Dr. Mohs was exactly who I needed during this pivotal moment for the future of my mouth. His experience, calm demeanor, fair pricing, and silky dental mitts blessed my emergency that day and I’ve been rocking a pain free smile ever since. Cheers to this great practice and excuse me while I try not to think of new reasons to return again soon!

Dr. Patel and the team at Emergency Denist of Chicago were INCREDIBLE! I had an emergency with my wisdom tooth, and they were able to see me on the same day, which was also a Sunday. This was my first tooth extraction, but the team was so warm, friendly, and they talked me through the process with positive attitudes and a lot of care. I highly recommend visiting them for your needs because they couldn't have been nicer!

This place is fantastic. The doctors have the greatest bed side manner. A place that not only is open for emergencies but care about their patients. It is bright and welcoming. All new equipment. Extremely clean. They go above and beyond for their patients. Call backs to see how you are doing. I went on opening day and felt like I knew the doctors my entire life. Thank you for all that you guys do. The care is beyond words. Thank you again for seeing me super late on a weekend last minute. 5 stars is not even enough this is a 10 star place dentist office.
