We recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat.
However, some patients may need to come in more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup.
Your dentist will create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs, making sure you get the right treatment when needed. Even if your teeth look healthy, regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss, keeping your smile fresh and healthy.
