How often?
Most patients do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. If you're managing gum disease or have a higher risk of cavities, we may recommend coming in a little more often.
For kids
We love seeing kids — first visits are short, friendly, and focused on making the chair feel like a fun place to be.
Common questions
How often should I come in for a cleaning?
Most healthy adults and kids do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. If you're managing gum disease, have a higher cavity risk, or wear braces, we may suggest coming in every three to four months instead.
