Most patients are able to maintain healthy smiles by implementing a thorough at-home oral care routine and scheduling biannual dental exams and teeth cleanings. In some cases, we may recommend that a patient visit our office three or more times a year, and this is usually because they have periodontal (gum) disease or they are on the verge of developing periodontal disease. Our team can assess your smile and help you decide how many preventive visits you should be scheduling per year during your next visit.
