Why Parents Picking a Dentist in Greenwood, IL Look to Woodstock
Greenwood became a village fairly recently, incorporating in McHenry County on April 4, 1995, although Greenwood Township itself dates to 1849. The village counted 324 residents in the 2020 census and covers a little under three square miles, with Hebron to the north, Alden to the west and Ringwood to the east.
It is described as a commuter village, and a dental office that keeps appointments on schedule makes workdays and school runs easier to juggle. Our weekday hours start at 8:00 AM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and on Thursday we are open from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM.
Because the drive is a straight run down County Highway V24, a parent can bring one child in for a checkup and be home again well within the morning. Families often find it simplest to keep everyone's care at one office, so records, reminders and treatment plans stay in the same place.
Healthy Smiles for Greenwood's Youngest Patients
Greenwood Elementary School, on the village's main road, serves pre-K through fifth grade for Woodstock Community Unit School District 200. Those are the years when baby teeth are coming out, permanent molars are arriving and good habits are still forming.
Those early years shape a child's attitude toward the dentist. A calm first visit, a friendly explanation of each instrument and a short appointment can make the next one easier. That is the atmosphere Dr. Conway is known for.
Six-month checkups give our dentists a regular look at new teeth as they come in. We watch for cavities in the deep grooves of molars, crowding that may need attention later, and habits such as thumb sucking or grinding. Digital x-rays help us check between teeth where brushing cannot reach.
Parents benefit too. Many moms and dads put their own care on hold while the kids are small, so it is worth booking your own cleaning on the same morning. If you have been curious about straightening your own teeth, our Invisalign overview explains how clear aligners work for adults.
Checkups, Fillings and Gentle Extractions for Greenwood Households
Complete & Comprehensive Exams
A thorough exam checks every tooth, the gums and the bite. It is the foundation of each family member's care plan.
Cleanings & Periodontal Care
Professional cleanings keep plaque and tartar under control for kids and adults. Gum care helps parents whose gums bleed or feel tender.
Fillings
A cavity caught early needs only a small repair. Most fillings are completed in a single visit, so there is no long string of appointments.
Teeth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, a gentle extraction with local anesthesia removes it. We talk through replacement options before and after.
Pola Rapid Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening is a treat for parents who want a brighter smile for family photos or a special event.
Sports and play bring their own dental risks. A fall from a bike or a ball to the mouth can chip or loosen a tooth, and a quick exam afterward shows whether the root or nerve was affected. If a new patient has a toothache or a broken tooth, the family can call and book the $99 exam, which applies to new patients without insurance and does not include a cleaning.
At home, the basics still do the most good: brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day and keeping sugary drinks to mealtimes. Our team is happy to show kids how to brush the back molars, which are the teeth most likely to collect plaque.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Conway Dental from Greenwood, and how do I get there?
It is 7.4 miles from Greenwood Elementary School to our office, about 13 minutes by car. Greenwood Road (County Highway V24) runs south and becomes IL 120, which leads along McHenry Avenue, North Madison Street and West Washington Street. For anyone weighing a dentist in Greenwood, IL against offices farther away, that single road keeps the trip simple.
Can my preschooler see the same dentist as the rest of the family?
Yes. The practice cares for adults, kids and even the most anxious patients, so parents and young children can all be seen here. Dr. Conway is known for a relaxed, supportive atmosphere with little ones. Keeping the whole family at one office also means one set of records and one place to call.
What should I do if my child has a toothache?
Call the office and describe the pain so the team can find a time to look at the tooth. Until then, have your child rinse with warm water, floss gently around the sore tooth to clear any trapped food, and hold a cold compress to the cheek if it is swollen. Many toothaches start with a cavity, and fillings are often completed in a single visit.
Should a cavity in a baby tooth be filled if the tooth will fall out anyway?
Often, yes. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth and help children chew and speak, and some stay in place until the preteen years. An untreated cavity can spread, cause pain or lead to infection. The dentist weighs how soon the tooth will be lost before recommending a filling.
How much toothpaste should a young child use?
For children under 3, a smear of fluoride toothpaste about the size of a grain of rice is enough. From ages 3 to 6, a pea-sized amount works well. Parents should help with brushing until a child can do a thorough job alone, and children should learn to spit the toothpaste out rather than swallow it.
