How often should I see my dentist?
A patient with normal risk of tooth decay and gum disease should see their dentist every six months. However, some people who have a higher risk factor or multiple dental issues may need to see their dentist more often. Your appointment will include a physical examination where your dentist will check your teeth, mouth, and jaw for any abnormalities like decay like cavities or signs of gum disease like swollen or irritated gums.

Regular Examinations and Cleanings in Fort Lauderdale, FL
