How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?

How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?

For most adults, we recommend scheduling a professional dental cleaning and exam every six months. These routine visits are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they become more serious. Regular checkups allow your dentist to monitor your oral health over time and catch potential problems early.

Some patients may need more frequent visits, depending on their individual risk factors. For example, people with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, diabetes, or other health conditions may benefit from cleanings every three to four months. During your visit, our dental team will discuss your personal oral health and recommend the schedule that’s best for you. Our goal is to create a plan that keeps your teeth and gums healthy while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Cleanings help reduce gum inflammation, bad breath, and the risk of cavities. They also provide an opportunity for your dentist to examine your oral health closely, check for early signs of gum disease, decay, or other issues, and discuss any concerns you may have.
