How Often Should I See the Dentist?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains how the frequency of dental visits depends on individual oral health needs, with most patients benefiting from checkups every six months while others may require more frequent care. If you’re unsure about the best schedule for your dental visits, schedule a free consultation today for a personalized recommendation.

The frequency of dental visits is individualized and depends on your specific oral health needs. While the standard recommendation for most patients is a checkup and cleaning every six months, some individuals may require more frequent visits.

For patients with gum disease, bone loss, or other periodontal concerns, we typically recommend appointments every three months to closely monitor their condition and prevent further progression. More frequent cleanings help manage bacterial buildup and inflammation, reducing the risk of more serious complications.

For those with healthy gums and no active dental issues, visits every six months are usually sufficient to maintain oral health, catch potential problems early, and prevent future issues.

Our approach is preventive-oriented, meaning we strive to detect and address concerns before they become serious. Regular checkups and cleanings allow us to stay ahead of dental problems, ensuring that your teeth and gums remain in the best possible condition.

If you’re unsure how often you should visit, we can assess your dental health and recommend the best schedule for your needs.
