So, how often should you visit the dentist?

Even if you’ve never had any dental issues before, it’s important that you still come in twice a year (every six months) for routine cleanings and exams. These visits are important because often times the early stages of gum disease and decay don’t cause any symptoms. By coming in every six months, you are making your oral health a priority. When caught early enough, many dental problems can easily be addressed.
