How often should I see my dentist?

published December 5th, 2008

We used to recommend that you come into the Clinic every 6 months. This outdated and old fashioned approach has no realĀ  clinical basis at all. Our Burnaby Dental Clinic will recall you by our computerised system at the interval set in discussion with you, our Patient, our hygienist, and the Dentist. Once your dental health has been assessed, and any problems sorted out, you should see your Hygienist or DentistĀ  every 3, 4 or 6 months. You will be recalled more often if you are prone to Periodontal disease. Infants should see a dentist at about 12 months of age.
