How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?
On average, it is recommended that patients visit the dentist at least twice a year. If you have specific or regular dental issues, then dentists suggest that you schedule an appointment once every 3-4 months.
There are certain dental issues that need immediate attention, and indicate that you need to visit a dentist as soon as you can, to prevent further damage and costly procedures that may be avoided with a prompt check-up.
Here are some major signs indicating that you need to schedule a dentist appointment as soon as possible:
- You are experiencing issues with your gums
- You notice white spots on your teeth
- You constantly have foul breath
- The texture or color inside your mouth looks or feels unusual
- Your teeth feel overly sensitive to heat and cold
- There are issues with dental work that has already been done to your teeth
- You feel pain or swelling in your teeth or your gums
- You have lingering sores in your mouth
- You have jaw sensitivity or pain
- It feels difficult to swallow or chew
