How often should I go to the dentist?

How often should I go to the dentist?

The frequency at which it is necessary to go to the dentist depends on your personal health. As a general rule, people should see their dentist every 6 months. However, for people more prone to periodontal problems, visits to the dentist could need to be more frequent. Your dentist will be able to determine the frequency of appointments needed depending on your oral health.

An appointment for a cleaning allows you to avoid the accumulation of plaque promoting the development of bacteria responsible for periodontitis, an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth. The risk of getting periodontitis is higher for someone that neglects their dental hygiene. It is crucial to consult a dentist if your gums bleed when you brush your teeth or are sensitive, swollen or red.

If you have an insurance plan, do not let it dictate the number of dental visits you take per year. If your plan offers you a visit every 9 months and your dentist advises you to make an appointment every 6 months, it is best for you to listen to your dentist. Your oral health should be a prime concern.

Don’t forget that your dental health has an impact on your global health. Take time to determine, with the help of your dentist, the ideal number of appointments you need per year.
