How often do I need a check and clean?

It is generally recommended you see a dentist every 6-12 months for a routine checkup.

It is also generally recommended you see a hygienist every 6 months for a routine clean.

However, if you are at higher risk for dental problems such as decay or gum disease, it is likely that your dentist and/or hygienist will request to see you on a more frequent basis.
