As a general rule of thumb, we advise patients to visit our dentist in York twice a year for routine check-ups – but this can vary depending on your oral health and individual medical conditions.
For example, if you practice good oral hygiene, you don’t have any health problems, and your teeth and gums are healthy, you might only need to see your dentist once every 12 months.
However, high-risk patients are often required to attend dental appointments more frequently.
This includes:
Pregnant women
Smokers
Diabetics
People who suffer from gum disease (gingivitis)
People with weak immune systems
When you come to our dentist in York, our clinicians will always take into account any known or underlying health conditions when examining your teeth and gums. And before you leave the treatment room, we’ll always inform you when to book your next appointment at the reception desk, whether it be in three months, six months, or a year's time.
