How often should I visit the dentist?

At PhD Dental, we generally recommend patients have a professional exam and cleaning every six months (twice a year) as a baseline. This interval allows us to catch early signs of cavities, gum disease or other issues when they’re most manageable. Of course, depending on your individual health — your gum condition, past history, lifestyle, medical issues — we may advise more frequent visits (for example every 3–4 months). We’ll discuss your ideal schedule during your first visit.
