Regular dental visits are the key to keeping your smile healthy and keeping you from serious oral health issues. Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. These visits help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
When Should I Visit More Often?
Some patients may require more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs. If you have any of the following issues, we may recommend appointments more often:
- Gum disease
- A history of cavities
- Orthodontic treatment
- Certain medical conditions
More frequent visits ensure that any potential issues are caught early and managed before they become more serious.
What Happens During a Routine Visit?
During your appointment, our team will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to detect any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. A professional cleaning removes stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. We’ll also discuss your concerns and provide personalized recommendations for your oral care routine.
