  • How often should I visit the Dental Hygienist?

For most people, a visit to a dental hygienist is every 6 months is ideal. However, some may benefit from more frequent care — such as every 3 months — especially if they’re managing gum concerns, periodontal disease or build-up. On the other hand, if your oral health is excellent and you’re particularly thorough with your home care, annual visits may be enough to maintain your smile.
