“How often should you visit the dentist?”
Visiting the dentist is recommended to be done twice a year as a preventive measure, but should be performed every 3-4 months for patients with more severe periodontal disease. For patients
who have braces or other orthodontic appliances, oral prophylaxis is recommended to be done more frequently. Oral prophylaxis is applicable for all ages to help fight tooth decay and gum disease. It is important to keep the oral cavity healthy
thus daily oral hygiene practices, like tooth brushing and flossing, should still be done. Regular visits to your dentist can also help you maintain good oral health.
