Preventive Dentistry FAQ
How many dental cleanings and exams should I schedule each year?
We recommend that most patients come to a dental cleaning twice a year — about once every 6 months. For patients with gum disease, we recommend you come in more frequently to ensure proper oral health.
What should I do between dental cleaning visits?
We recommend that everyone practice proper dental hygiene, including brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing.
In addition, try to be aware of what is going on in your mouth. Contact our team if you are experiencing anything unusual in your mouth such as a loose tooth or painful toothache. We are your partners in oral health and are here to ensure you stay healthy — even in between appointments.
