It's back to school for Chicago - and here are the dates you need to be aware of! 

Yoo Hoo…Last Call.

I know we just addressed this point, but it definitely bears repeating.  Get everyone of the school-age kids in your household a full dental exam before the opening bell.  It just makes sense, doesn’t it?  Why on earth would you wait and have to pull one of your kids out of school to go to the dentist?  Nobody wants that!

Here’s the thing…if everything checks out and your kids just need exams and maybe cleanings then your adolescents will be good-to-go (dentally speaking anyway) for the rest of calendar year 2017.  Now, you can relax until the next cleaning.  If not, now you have time to schedule another appointment for a procedure before the school year begins.

Just one more thing to remember.  If you are going to get the kids in for back-to-school dental check-ups it would probably be a good idea to go to a full service dental practice that will be able to take the next step if necessary.  In Carol Stream that choice is obvious!  Call Dr. David Blackman for full service dentistry at (630) 260-1700 and visit his 400 N. Gary Ave office.

Back to School…Back to Dental Health.

Okay, it has been fun…hasn’t it mom and dad?  The summer is always too short and soon the harsh reality (or joy) of back to school will be here.  Let’s see…book bag - check, new shoes - check, new clothes - check, late summer getaway…hopefully, back-to-school bi-annual dental exam…definitely check!

August is a perfect time to have all of the minors (and adults if necessary) have their twice a year dental cleaning and exam.  The last thing that you want is to have to miss valuable school time and work time for the adults having to go to the dentist in the fall.  So, complete your checklist with a call to your favorite family dentist.

In the Carol Stream area that choice has been Dr. David Blackman DDS for many years.  Dr. Blackman and his great staff will examine, clean, and recommend any future dental needs that your family members may need.  You can count on and trust the Doctor and his staff to always pay close attention to YOUR dental health.  Call today for that August visit (630) 260-1700.

Meet the Blackmans.

No, this is not the new Ben Stiller movie.  This is your local Carol Stream dentist.  It is the staff of Dr. David Blackman.  We thought that mid-July would be a good time to become familiar with some of them.  We have talked about the doctors recently, but what about that fabulous support group.  Understand, this is just a short list.

Heather is the office manager that you get to visit at least twice a year and she will become your buddy.  Liz and Ashley are your dental hygienists.  They answer every question about your oral heath so you can keep that smile for the rest of your life.  Beyond that there is Laura and Kathy and Missy and many others.

Now, comes the part where we invite you to visit www.davidblackmandds.com.  When you do, click on the About Us tab of our informative website.  We hope that after that journey you will feel comfortable enough to pick up the phone and schedule a check-up with us at our office located at 400 N. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.

How Do I Pay for this Dental Work?

It has to be the number one question, doesn’t it?  I can only imagine how many people in Chicagoland go without proper dental care because of the cost.  The situation is real and should not be avoided.  The cost of dental treatment varies dramatically depending on the work that needs to be done…or that you WANT done.

The first thing that you should do is find a dental practice that accepts as many forms of payment as possible.  That would include most insurance plans and major credit cards as well.  This is not only a personal gift, but one that will have impact on family and friends as well.  Next, ask the office staff for assistance in processing and applying for any and all insurance coverage.

Great, personal service is as important as the dental work itself.  Dr. David Blackman and his amazing staff will work with your insurance provider to meet all of your needs and develop an affordable payment plan.  Set up a consultation with someone at David Blackman DDS located at 400 N. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.
