Your family should visit me at least twice yearly if their teeth and gums are healthy. If I diagnose a specific condition, I may recommend a more customized treatment schedule to address their needs.
Remember, the goal of regular dental visits is to save you time and money in the long run by preventing costly and time-consuming oral health issues.
Why I Recommend Six-Month Dental Visits
As a family dentist in Duncan, BC, I have seen the evidence firsthand. In other words, patients who visit my office regularly (every six months) or their own dentist tend to have fewer cavities and better long-term oral health.
Signs You May Need More Frequent Teeth Cleanings
If you satisfy any of the following criteria, you may need additional teeth cleanings throughout the year:
- Recurring Tooth Decay
- Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease)
- Periodontitis (Advanced Gum Disease)
- Recurring Oral or Tooth Infections
- Recurring Bad Breath
The stages of gum disease are especially concerning, and one of the main reasons to visit my dental office regularly. In the gingivitis stage, I can frequently reverse the issue. In the advanced periodontitis phase, I can only treat and improve the infections and inflammation.
Without treatment, advanced gum disease can mean tooth loss and systemic health complications, including heart, lung, and reproductive issues.
