Preventive Dentistry

Preventive Dentistry

Every patient [even denture patients] needs to be seen at least once a year, and the vast majority of patients should visit their dentist two to four times a year. Studies show that calculus [tartar] begins to accumulate on tooth surfaces between 90 and 120 days after professional cleaning. Many patients benefit from professional cleanings that are more frequent than every six months, especially those who don`t floss daily.
