How Often Should I Schedule Preventive Visits?
Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist every six months for an exam and cleaning. However, we may recommend more frequent visits if you:

- Have gum disease or a history of periodontal issues
- Wear braces or dental appliances
- Have underlying health conditions that affect oral health
We’ll create a preventive care plan tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Dentistry
Why is preventive dentistry important?
Preventive dentistry helps you avoid pain, tooth loss, and expensive procedures by catching issues early or stopping them before they start. It also supports overall health and well-being.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
Your exam includes a thorough inspection of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays if needed, an oral cancer screening, and a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Is preventive care covered by dental insurance?
Most PPO plans cover two preventive visits per year. Check out our Financial Options page or call us to understand your coverage.
Can I prevent cavities without going to the dentist?
Good home care is essential—but professional cleanings and checkups are key to detecting what you can’t see or feel. Regular visits help ensure small problems don’t turn into bigger ones.
