Preventative Oral Health - VisitsHOW OFTEN SHOULD I VISIT THE DENTIST?It varies, for most people 6 monthly visits are recommended. However, for those people with 'low maintenance' mouths i.e. they have very few fillings and are brushing well, then 12 months may be appropriate; we will advise you. Even for people with dentures, a check every 2-3 years is appropriate to examine the mouth for any signs of disease (including pre-cancerous changes). Regular visits however, are essential for a preventative programme to work. The objective is to detect problems early before they become more extensive, costly, and harder to remedy. Just because there is no pain or apparent gum disease, it does not mean there are no problems. Back to Preventative Oral Health Back to FAQs |
