In today’s busy world, routine dental visits are often the first thing to be delayed, especially if you are not having any symptoms of dental issues. Still, it is important to know that routine dental cleanings and exams are important for your oral health and overall wellness. The American Dental Association recommends that to maintain optimal oral health, patients should maintain regular visits with a dentist at intervals that are determined by their specific health needs. At Gunnerson Dental in Payson, UT, we recommend visits every six months for otherwise healthy patients. High-risk patients may often benefit from more frequent visits. We work with each patient on an individual basis to determine the appropriate frequency of visits.
