Although everyone has different requirements, most of our patients return every 3 to 6 months for a professional cleaning and routine checkup. This timeframe varies depending on your particular oral health and needs. While twice daily brushing and daily flossing go a long way towards maintaining a healthy mouth, it is wise to check for plaque that has hardened into tartar, requiring professional cleaning to avoid gingivitis or periodontitis.
It is best to schedule your next appointment prior to leaving your recent visit. If that is not done, our computer system will generate a postcard reminder which will be mailed to you approximately one month prior to your due date. Due to the nature of computers, postal delivery systems and of course, human beings, it's a good idea to flag your calendar to contact us when you will be due.
