I don’t think I need to be seen every six months for a check up but my dentist keeps sending me out a reminder. Why should I go if nothing’s wrong?
A. The need for a six monthly examination is very important in some cases, particularly in children where we want to catch problems early. However some adult patients can manage perfectly well with less frequent check-ups, and you may be one of them. Mention your thoughts to your dentist on your next visit, and he can explain why he feels you need to be seen every six months, or he may agree that an annual recall may suit you better.
