Keep Your Teeth & Gums Healthy

Whether it's been six months or six years since your last dental checkup, regular visits to the dentist are key to keeping your smile healthy.

At J. Michael Krischke DDS, you'll benefit from advanced technology, including sophisticated cavity detectors that spot decay in its earliest stages.

Our team goes beyond checking for cavities — we also look for signs of gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns before they become serious.

During your exam, we'll thoroughly clean plaque from hard-to-reach areas and may include preventive services to strengthen and protect your teeth for the long term.

Prevent Future Dental Problems

We offer several preventive treatments designed to keep your smile in top condition.

Dental sealants protect back teeth from decay using an air abrasion technique for a durable, long-lasting bond. Fluoride treatments strengthen and remineralize enamel to fight cavities.

Mouthguards are custom-made to prevent teeth grinding, protect teeth during sports, or keep airways open while you sleep. For fresher breath, our halitosis treatment targets the source of bad breath—often dry mouth—to prevent future decay.

Since gum health is just as important as tooth health, we also provide gum disease treatment, using scaling and root planing to restore healthy gums.

Call J. Michael Krischke DDS at 219-641-3422 for general dentistry in Crown Point. We're open as late as 7 p.m. for your convenience.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What does general dentistry include?

General dentistry consists of numerous services that are made to keep your smile in great shape. These services include dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive services like fluoride treatments and dental sealants, and mouthguards to shield your teeth during sports or while grinding teeth during sleep.

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

Nutritious foods that benefit your overall health also help you maintain healthy teeth. Adding fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese into your diet is a good start. Certain fruits and vegetables, with their high water and fiber content, function as a natural toothbrush and remove plaque from your teeth. Nuts make an excellent snack option as they contain minerals that strengthen tooth enamel, making it less vulnerable to cavities.

Can a specialist practice general dentistry?

While the response is yes, in actuality specialists do not generally practice general dentistry. Most work strictly in their field of expertise. It's much better to go to a general dentist for the majority of your routine oral care, including cosmetic and restorative dentistry. A general dentist sees all sorts of different cases every day and is well equipped to deal with a variety of dental scenarios.
