On average, we usually recommend to every one of our senior patients to try and visit for routine checkups twice a year. This is the minimum we recommend to schedule as this level of frequency allows for the buildup of tartar to be removed and cleaning will be done to prevent any dental issues including gum disease and decay. In addition to these routine visits, our dentists will also provide the opportunity to catch potential problems before they become more serious. Our dentists will also keep an eye out for other issues including ones that can become quite problematic for our senior patients including receding gums, bone loss, as well as diseases, and medication-related oral health issues. Our dentists may state you will need an increasingly infrequent visit to monitor any additional dental needs. Due to aging, many will experience oral and dental issues. A few of the health issues that can commonly lead to oral health issues include oral problems and teeth issues.
