How often should you go to the dentist to get a check up?

Depends on Your Risk: For most healthy adults with good oral hygiene practices at home, the usual recommendation is every six months. However, science suggests that every three months would be much better for everyone, since that's how long it takes plaque to form and become most aggressive. Once you see your dentist and hygienist, they will make a personalized recommendation for you.

Twice a year: Every six months at the very least is the standard of care answer.
