How often should you have your teeth cleaned?
January 5, 2021 by Cadmusdental
You will need routine or deep cleaning, depending on the condition of your mouth (your normal oral hygiene and how often you see your dentist).
A standard cleaning method that should be done twice a year is a minor and very common procedure. For the following the appointments will need to be more frequent:
- smokers,
- experiencing orthodontic issues,
- taking medication that causes dry mouth,
- diabetics,
- under significant stress
- those who have a history or gum disease or take oral contraceptives.
- pregnant, or
- affected by HIV/AIDS or cancer.
If you have important dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or implants, you may also require additional appointments during the year. Those with crowded teeth should come in more often as well.
