Why Do Dentists Ask You to Come Back Every 6 Months?
A regular checkup for your dental health is important because dentists help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. You should have regular dental visits with your dentist every 6 months or as recommended by your dentist. Usually during a routine dental appointment and cleaning, your exam will include a check for plaque and tartar on your teeth, any cavities, as well as your gums to check for gum disease and finally a careful examination of your tongue, throat, face, head and neck for any signs of trouble or possible signs of cancer.
