Most dentists recommend seeing the dentist once every 6-12 months according to the Australian Dental Association (ADA). However, this may vary according to patient dental needs as well. Studies have shown that people with no dental issues can visit the dentist near them once a year, while those with oral health issues should get checked every 3-4 months. This can include Regular Dental Exams, Preventative Dentistry, Cleaning, Flossing and General Dental Check-Ups.
