You
should see your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups at least
every six months. There are those who are at greater risk for oral diseases and
other related health issues that should have dental cleanings and check-ups
more than twice a year, such as, diabetes, periodontal (gum) disease, possible
heart disease, pregnancies and in rare instances alcohol and tobacco users. Poor oral hygiene and certain medical
conditions are some of the many factors that your dentist takes into
consideration when deciding how often you need your dental cleaning and check-ups. One of the real problems that has invaded
oral healthcare are the restrictions placed on insurance coverage by
insurers. You need to understand that
insurance companies serve a self-interest in reducing the number to times you
visit your dentist. Try
not to let what your insurance covers be your benchmark for your healthcare.
Going
on a regular basis will help to keep your oral health on track as well as
detect any early problems such as periodontal disease, oral cancer or cavities.
The best way to maintain good oral
health is to visit your dentist
on a regular basis coupled with brushing your teeth and drinking fluoridated
water.
And
like I always say ‘the best toothbrush is the one you use’. So please, if we can help feel free to call us.
