Generally, if your teeth are in good condition and you’re not experiencing any pain or discomfort, you should schedule a dentist appointment every six months. Two visits per year are usually enough to inspect your dental health and get a thorough teeth cleaning.
However, if you’re noticing changes in your teeth or gums, like swelling, bleeding, or anything else you’re concerned about, it’s best to check in with your dentist. Making an appointment when your discomfort is mild lets us stay one step ahead of any potential dental issues. We can detect and treat any issues that may occur before they become serious problems. Sometimes, it’s as easy as giving your teeth a deep cleaning! However, waiting too long to visit us could make it more difficult to treat underlying causes, so when in doubt, we’ll check it out.
Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is the key to a winning smile. Not only that but having good oral hygiene can keep the rest of your body healthy, too! Make sure to schedule your biannual dental cleaning and mark the calendar so you’ll always be right on track with your appointments.
