How Often Should You Visit a Dentist?
There is no one recall interval that suits everyone. Visit timing should reflect your oral health and risk factors.
Why timing varies
Gum health, decay risk, existing restorations, orthodontic care, dry mouth, smoking and medical factors can change how often reviews are useful.
What a routine visit can cover
A visit may include assessment of teeth, gums, bite, restorations and soft tissues, with preventive advice tailored to current findings.
Ask for your recall plan
After examination, your dentist can recommend a review interval and explain why it fits your needs.
Medical note: This is general education, not a diagnosis. Symptoms and suitability need individual assessment by a qualified dental professional.
