How often should I see my dentist for routine check-ups?

We recommend that you should see your Narraweena dentist for routine check-ups every six months to keep your teeth and gums in top shape. Regular visits allow your dentist to catch any potential issues early, such as tooth decay, enamel wear or gum disease, before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.

During these visits, you’ll receive a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t tackle. Your dentist will also check for signs of oral health concerns like tooth decay, gum inflammation, and even early signs of oral cancer.

However, depending on their dental health, some patients may need more frequent visits. If you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities or wear braces, your dentist may recommend check-ups every three to four months to monitor your progress and provide extra care.

Ultimately, keeping up with regular check-ups helps maintain a healthy, pain-free smile and reduces the likelihood of needing extensive treatments down the road. If it’s been a while since your last visit, now’s the perfect time to book an appointment!
