October is National Dental Hygiene Month! We are incredibly thankful for this team and the care and compassion they provide to all of our patients.

When you sit in the hygiene chair, you know you’re leaving with that smooth, clean-teeth feeling. But your hygienist’s job goes far beyond the polish!

We want to pull back the curtain on everything our amazing team of hygienists do behind the scenes to protect your health:

• Preventive Therapy: Removing plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from areas your toothbrush simply cannot reach, preventing gum disease before it starts.

• Periodontal Screenings: Measuring gum pocket depths to catch inflammation, gingivitis, or bone loss early, when it’s still reversible.

• Systemic Health Monitoring: Oral health directly impacts overall health. Hygienists check for signs of high blood pressure, diabetes risks, and systemic inflammation during routine visits.

• Oral Cancer Screenings: Performing vital, gentle checks of your tongue, gums, throat, and soft tissues at every single recall visit.

• Personalized Coaching: From flossing techniques that actually work to recommendations for dry mouth, sensitive teeth, or specific dental tools, they tailor care to your exact mouth.

Your hygienists aren't just cleaning your teeth. They are safeguarding your lifelong health and well-being. Healthy mouth, healthy you!

If your retainer doesn’t quite “feel right” anymore, it’s probably time for a new one. We recommend you change this asap and not wait…teeth have a funny way of shifting faster than you think. We make the process simple: a quick, mess-free 3D scan with our iTero digital scanner, and your new retainers are on the way. No goopy putty, no hassle. Give us a call at 847-577-7171 or book your quick appointment through the link in our bio today!

Did you know most dental plans operate on a strict "Use It or Lose It" policy?

Standard plans typically provide an annual maximum benefit between $1,000 and $2,000 per person. Because fewer than 5% of policyholders reach that cap, the average insured adult leaves between $1,000 and $1,300+ in unused coverage on the table every single year - benefits you’ve already paid for through your monthly premiums that simply vanish when the new year begins.

Now is the perfect time to schedule! 📅✨

We accept most PPO insurance plans, and our front desk team is happy to assist you with checking your remaining benefits and navigating your coverage so you don't leave valuable healthcare dollars behind.

Why get on the calendar today?

• Preventive care is often 100% covered: Routine cleanings, exams, and annual X-rays are typically covered at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

• Maximize a met deductible: If you’ve met your deductible this year, completing restorative care (like fillings, crowns, or dental repairs) now will cost significantly less than waiting for your deductible to reset in January.

• Beat the holiday rush: November and December appointments book up quickly as patients rush to use their expiring benefits.
Don’t wait until the schedule is full!

👉 Call our team today at 847-577-7171 or click www.westgatedentalcare.net to schedule online. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about your remaining benefits!

Did you know that most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar year? That means any unused annual maximums don't roll over to 2027 - the old "use it or lose it." Once December 31st arrives, those benefits vanish.

If you’ve been putting off dental care or still need your routine cleaning, now is the time to take action:

• Preventive Cleanings & Exams: Most plans cover preventive visits at or near 100%. Don’t leave your cleanings on the table!

• Outstanding Treatment: If you’ve met your deductible for 2026, finishing needed dental work now can significantly lower your out-of-pocket costs.

• Beat the Year-End Rush: Schedules fill up quickly as the end of the year approaches. Booking now ensures you get the appointment time that best fits your busy schedule.

You pay for your dental benefits - make sure you get the most value out of them! We're in network with most PPO plans. Out-of-network? We will still work with your insurance plan to help you maximize your benefits. Existing and new patients are encouraged to schedule.
