Most people should see their dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. However, the ideal frequency of visits can vary based on your individual needs, oral health, and risk factors.
Regular dental checkups help your family maintain healthy, lifelong smiles. While twice-yearly visits are standard, some patients may need to be seen more frequently. At Hite Family Dentistry, we tailor the frequency of visits to your specific needs to ensure your smile stays healthy and bright.
What to Expect During Your Dental Visit
A typical routine checkup at Hite Family Dentistry includes:
- Professional Cleaning — A dental hygienist gently cleans your teeth to remove plaque and tartar and keep your family’s smiles healthy.
- Comprehensive Exam — Our dentists check your teeth, gums, and mouth to identify signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
- Digital X-rays — We may recommend x-rays periodically to keep your records current and check for hidden problems.
- Personalized Recommendations — If necessary, we’ll recommend treatments and create a plan to address your needs.
