Comprehensive examinations of teeth, gums, and oral tissues are very important in detecting dental problems and maintaining oral health. We recommend having a regular examination and teeth cleaning every six months to ensure health gums, fresh breathe, and detection of small cavities or fractures. X-rays are not needed every 6 months but is recommended every 2 years to check areas that are not visible to our eyes and to monitor existing teeth, bone, and old fillings. Children should also have their teeth checked every 6 months starting from a young age as baby teeth can develop large cavities within a short period of time and disease progression is a lot quicker than that in adults.
