You Need To See Your Dentist Twice A Year
For most people, that is the recommendation, and some people could stand to spend even more time with their provider to keep themselves safe from common dental concerns. Six months typically gives you a chance to maintain your smile on your own with your brushing and flossing, while still having periodic check-ins with a trusted oral health professional. That can make a real difference, as bacterial buildup can lead to some problems for both your teeth and your gums.
Bacterial accumulation starts as plaque, which you can brush off with your regular brushing and flossing. But if this remains in your mouth for a couple days, it calcifies into tartar, and you can no longer safely remove this on your own. At that point, you need the help of a trained dental hygienist to remove your buildup, and your checkup is a great place to do it.
Ask About Your Oral Health While You’re Here
When you come to see your dentist, it is your opportunity to improve your oral health. We know, however, that you have questions that you are keeping to yourself. At your next appointment, come prepared with a smile journal. Your smile journal doesn’t have to be much; you could just text yourself whenever you think of something. Then, be sure to ask!
