22ndCenturyMedia.com education Guide 22nd century media | August 8, 2019 | 9 Mill Pond Dental Group helps patients establish and maintain oral health Dr. Eric Young knew he wanted to be a dentist after growing up in Panama and seeing the need for improving oral health. “Poor oral health affect your teeth and gums but it can also affect the rest of your body and quality of life,” Young said. “Since I was in high school, I knew I wanted to work in dentistry to help people with their oral health and in effect improve their overall well being.” Young attended Loyola University for a bachelor’s in biology degree, Northwestern University for a master’s in Biotechnology and Marquette University for his doctorate in dental surgery. He worked as an associate dentist in Chicago and the Southwest suburbs but now owns a private practice at Mill Pond Dental Group in Mokena. Mill Pond Dental Group is a general dental office that provides a full array of services from preventative care, such as general cleanings, to advance services, such as full-mouth rehabilitations. After more than a year at Mill Pond Dental Group, Young wants to help patients learn and practice preventative health care. “It is important not to put off your dental work because then it becomes more expensive and more involved,” Young said. “As dentists, we are very good at fixing and replacing teeth, but I want prevention to be a standard of care.” Young said many times people wait until they have a problem to come in for dental work, when they should come in regularly so they can keep up good health. One of the biggest keys to maintaining healthy teeth and gums is to make an appointment at the dentist at least every six months for checkups and cleanings. Young suggests people should begin seeing a dentist when they begin getting teeth, which is as early as the first year of life. The first visit at Mill Pond Dental Group will always start with a comprehensive exam. During a comprehensive exam, Mill Pond Dental Group will take a full series of X-rays to check everything from gum health to tooth health. After a thorough examination, Young will review all treatments options so that patients have sufficient information to make educated decisions about their oral health. “After the comprehensive exam we will establish what your needs are and how often you should come in,” Young said. “For any patient, regardless of the condition, a comprehensive exam is always a good place to start. We will help create a customized plan for you.” The staff at Mill Pond Dental Group also helps patients maintain good oral hygiene by providing at-home oral hygiene instructions, as well as providing nutrition tips. “We can always give pointers on how you can improve oral hygiene and give you tips on other oral hygiene instruments to keep your mouth nice and clean,” Young said. “Nutrition is also important. We can look at the type of diet you have and see how it is affecting your gums and teeth.” Mill Pond Dental Group prides itself on putting the patient first. “The patient experience is the No. 1, most important thing for us,” Young said. “We always put our patients first from the moment you call our office to the moment you leave the office.” Young said communication is also essential. Patients can text directly with Young and his staff. He is also regularly available by email or phone. “I make myself available to talk on the phone with patients directly,” Young said. “Personalized care is huge.” Mill Pond Dental group is currently accepting new patients. Take advantage of their back-to-school special for children and their new-patient special for adults this summer.
