How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

Read the answer

Detailed Answer

Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

Many patients are familiar with a six-month schedule for examinations and cleanings. The right interval is individual, however, and Dr. Bashi recommends a schedule based on your current oral health and risk factors.

At a routine visit, the team checks the teeth and gums and looks for changes that may need attention. Professional cleaning complements your home care. Patients with gum disease or other ongoing concerns may need more frequent maintenance.

Regular visits are useful even when nothing hurts, because some problems develop without obvious symptoms. Follow the schedule recommended for your situation.
