FAQs
It's generally recommended to visit your dentist for a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, this can vary depending on your oral health condition. If you have gum disease or other dental issues, you may need more frequent visits. Regular checkups help detect problems early on when they're easier to treat.
To prevent cavities and gum disease, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash. Limiting sugary foods and drinks can also help. Additionally, regular dental checkups and cleanings are crucial for removing plaque and tartar buildup.
