Perhaps you are brushing your teeth twice a day and seeing your dentist bi-annually.
That’s great!
But truth be told, it may not be enough.
Read on to learn why.
The dentist: key to exceptional oral health
While going to the dentist for your six-month cleaning and exam is the rule of thumb and recommended by the ADA, some people may need to visit the dentist more frequently.
For example, if you have gum disease, you will likely need to visit more often for cleanings to manage your condition.
Those with diabetes may also need more frequent visits, as the condition can impact your body’s natural ability to fend off infection. This can make you more susceptible to teeth and gum issues, including gum disease.
Additionally, if you suffer from dry mouth – whether from a health condition or medication – this can increase your risk of dental issues, like cavities and gum disease. More frequent visits can help ensure your oral health is where it should be.
And finally, if have a weakened immune system, you may wish to visit us more often, as you may be more prone to infections in the body, including the mouth.
