Going to the dentist should not always be a cry for help. Oral health is not much different from the rest of our bodies.


A smart mom would say, ‘Less frequent than PTAs but more regular than annual spring breaks.

And she’s right. The rule of thumb remains the same worldwide. We should visit our dentists at least twice a year. This may work fine with some people, but for others with gum diseases or are predisposed to cavities and plaque formation, they may have to schedule dental visits more often to keep their teeth and mouth healthy.

Going to the dentist should not always be a cry for help. Oral health is not much different from the rest of our bodies.

Dental health goes far more than toothaches and pain. The mouth is just like a big city. A lot of things can happen and go wrong. Regular visits will let your dentist check for problems that you can’t see or even feel. Allowing them to look for early signs of tooth decay or other oral diseases gives you a stronger chance of fighting or preventing them before they get worse.

Now is always a good time. Don’t wait until it hurts.
