What does a check up involve, and do I need one every six months?
To maintain a healthy smile we recommend that patients return every 3 – 6 months for a check up depending on their needs. Early detection of cavities, fractured teeth/fillings, gum disease and mouth cancer is the best way to prevent small problems from becoming big ones. Check ups also include a dental cleaning, fluoride treatment and x-rays (annually, or as required). Of course, patients are free to opt out of any part of the dental check up.
