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.
