The American Dental Association recommends seeing your dental team at least two times per year. These visits should include a preventive cleaning with your dental hygienist and a comprehensive checkup with your dentist. Seeing us twice a year at minimum helps us keep you in good oral health.
Gentle cleanings remove plaque and tartar to help prevent gum disease. These appointments also let us give you the oral hygiene education you want and need to keep your teeth and gums healthy. At your dental checkups, we can find issues when they are still small – and more affordable to treat. Plus, if there is anything you don’t like about your smile, this is a perfect opportunity to ask about your cosmetic options!
Depending on your unique needs and dental health, it may be necessary to have more frequent dental visits – up to four times per year for people with advanced gum disease.
