How Often Should You Go to the Denist?

 On average, seeing a dentist twice a year works well for many people. Some can get away with fewer visits. Others may need more frequent visits. People with very little risk of cavities or gum disease can do fine seeing their dentist just once a year. People with a high risk of dental disease might need to visit every three or four months or more. This high-risk group includes:

• Smokers
• Pregnant women
• Diabetics
• People with current gum disease
• People with a week immune response to bacterial infection
• People who tend to get cavities or build-up plaque
