Patients with excellent oral health and no history of cavities or gum disease may only need one or two visits annually. However, many patients at Clearwater Dental require more frequent attention to address these ongoing issues.
Our dentists and hygienists will evaluate your needs and work with you to determine the ideal schedule of checkups for your specific situation.
Personalized Care Plans
Some patients may need to see us three or more times a year, depending on their needs. Some conditions that may require more frequent checkups include:
- A history of gum disease
- Frequent cavities
- Compromised immune systems
- Diabetes or other medical conditions affecting oral health
- Difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene
Prevention Is Key to Oral Health
Regular dental visits help us catch potential problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat. Even if you maintain excellent home care, professional cleanings remove buildup that brushing and flossing can't reach, while regular exams allow us to monitor your oral health and prevent small issues from becoming major concerns.
