People at a greater risk for oral diseases should have dental check ups more than twice a year, which means about every 3-4 months. Tobacco and alcohol use, diabetes, pregnancy, periodontal and gum disease, poor oral hygiene and certain medical conditions are some of the many factors that your dentist takes into consideration when deciding how often you need your dental cleaning and check up.

Going
to your regular check ups will help to keep your gums and teeth healthy as well
as detect any problems in the early stages and of course that will save money
and grief. Lately we have had several
patients that haven’t been in over the last year or so and then they call with
a toothache, cracked tooth, massive decay etc. which now costs them in some
cases thousands of dollars and lots of grief.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
