Dr. Klein recommends that healthy patients visit us twice a year for routine checkups and cleanings. These regular visits allow us to monitor their oral health, catch potential issues early, and keep their smiles bright and healthy.
However, the ideal frequency of dental visits can vary based on individual needs. Some patients, such as those with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions, may benefit from more frequent visits for teeth cleanings—perhaps every 3 to 4 months.
What Happens During Preventive Dental Visits?
During your initial visit, Dr. Klein will assess your oral health and discuss any specific concerns you may have. Based on this evaluation, we'll create a personalized care plan that includes a recommended schedule for your dental checkups.
Remember, prevention is key to maintaining good oral health. Regular visits help us detect and address issues before they become more serious and potentially costly. Between appointments, maintain good oral hygiene habits at home, including brushing twice daily, flossing, and eating a balanced diet.
If you ever experience pain, swelling, or other dental concerns between scheduled visits, don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to ensure your smile stays healthy year-round!
