Dental Hygiene

Here at Orland Dental Wellness Center, we offer our patients a variety of dental procedures, which begin with the dental hygiene appointment. This appointment includes education to teach patients about the right tooth brushing and flossing technique, reiteration of the importance of oral hygiene, and a dental exam to look for signs of other dental issues. Patients in Orland Park, IL visit Dr. Wook Kim for dental hygiene and check-up appointments twice a year to benefit fully from proper oral health.

Daily dental hygiene is essential for patients to begin doing at home. Patients are advised to brush and floss their teeth twice a day, and visit our office every six months. This ensures the best preventative measures for avoidance of future costly dental procedures. It also reduces the risk of gum disease, including periodontal disease. If a patient does have periodontal disease, we offer treatments for it, including deep cleanings, root scaling and planing.

Oral cancer screenings are also performed during each check-up in our office, which involves examining the teeth and gums, tongue, inside and outside of the mouth, the cheeks and the lips for signs of oral cancer.
