How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

At Shannon M. Coen, DMD, PC, we emphasize the importance of regular dental cleanings and exams for optimal oral health. Understanding the frequency of these visits is crucial for preventing dental issues and ensuring a healthy smile.

The Importance of Routine Dental Visits

Regular dental cleanings and checkups play a crucial role in maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. During these visits, we remove plaque and tartar and check your smile for any issues, such as cavities, gum disease, and more.

Recommended Frequency of Dental Cleanings and Exams

The general recommendation for most individuals is to have a dental cleaning and exam every six months. This bi-annual schedule is typically sufficient for maintaining good oral health.

However, some patients may require more frequent visits, especially those with specific dental issues like gum disease, a history of cavities, or other ongoing oral health concerns.
