How often should you go to your dentist?

Visit the dentist: We see patients for regular checkups every 3-4 months if the patient has gum/bone problems. 6 months is the average for most people. Some come once a year if they do not form calculus and have no problems. Do not hesitate to discuss this with your dentist and pick out the interval that fits your needs.

Depends: It depends on your dental condition and what you want to achieve or prevent. Some patients prefer to come in more regularly to prevent dental problems. Once a patient is diagnosed with periodontal disease it is typical to have periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 months as periodontal bacterial colonies begin to rebuild every 55 to 75 days.

Check-up: You should let your dentist decide what is appropriate for you. Generally it might be every 4-6 months.
