Published October 17, 2026

Most people should see a dentist at least twice a year. Regular visits keep plaque and stains under control and catch small problems before they become painful – or expensive.

What happens at a check-up

  • An examination of your teeth, gums and mouth
  • Professional cleaning – scaling and polishing
  • Advice on brushing, flossing and diet
  • X-rays when needed

Signs you should not wait

  • Toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • A broken filling or chipped tooth
  • Persistent bad breath
