Frequently asked question
How often should I have a check-up?
The right interval varies by person and risk. Ask your dentist after an assessment.
What happens at a dental check-up?
Your dentist checks your teeth and gums, asks about concerns and may recommend further tests or care if needed. The next visit interval should reflect your individual needs.
Do I need a check-up if nothing hurts?
Dental problems do not always cause pain early on. A check-up can help your dentist assess your oral health and advise when you should return.
