How often should I visit the dentist?
Though it varies from patient to patient, we recommend all patients go to their dentist for a regular teeth cleaning and check-up at least twice per year. Some patients, depending on their dental needs and any issues that may arise, may require more frequent visits. Things like smoking, diabetes and gum disease can put patients in this “higher risk” category and necessitate more frequent visits to the dentist. Another reason you may need to see the dentist more frequently is if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
