How often should you see the hygienist?
Regular hygiene appointments play an important role in keeping your smile healthy, fresh, and free from gum disease.
For most people, a visit every six months is ideal. These appointments help remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that can build up over time, even with good brushing at home.
However, everyoneโs oral health is different. You may need more frequent visits if you wear braces, have a history of gum disease, experience faster plaque build-up, or have certain health conditions.
Hygiene appointments donโt just clean your teeth, they also help detect early signs of dental issues and gum disease before they become more serious.
