How often should I have a checkup and cleaning?

Many people come in twice a year. Some need more visits and some need fewer. Your dentist sets the right number for you.

Why checkups matter

Small problems rarely hurt at first. A checkup finds a cavity or gum trouble while it is still small and simple to fix.

What happens at a cleaning

Our team removes the buildup that brushing and flossing miss. Then the dentist looks at your teeth and gums and tells you what we see.

Why the number is different for each person

Your gums, your past dental work and your health all change how often you should come in. Ask us what is right for you.
