How often should I visit the dentist?
At a minimum, annual dental examinations are often recommended, but should be based on individual needs. Some people will need to see the dentist more frequently depending on their increased risks for oral diseases and their dental needs.

Why do I need a complete dental examination?
To check soft tissues (oral cancer screening), screen and examine for periodontal disease and cavities, and to chart existing restorations and other tooth conditions. Dental radio-graphs (x-rays) may be needed to assist the dentist in locating disease that cannot be seen by the eye.
