For most patients, visiting the dentist every six months for a check-up and professional cleaning is ideal. *Results and treatment times vary.
These regular visits give your Beaudesert dentist the opportunity to remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach, while also checking for early signs of problems like:
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Oral cancer
Detecting these issues early means they can often be treated before they become more complex.
Who May Need More Frequent Visits?
While twice a year works well for many people, some patients benefit from more frequent preventative care. This includes:
- Those with a history of gum disease
- Patients prone to frequent cavities or decay
- People with medical conditions such as diabetes that can impact oral health
- Children or teenagers who are still learning proper brushing and flossing habits
In these cases, visits every three to four months may be recommended.
Preventative Care at BDF Dental in Beaudesert
At BDF Dental, preventive dentistry goes beyond a simple cleaning. We use:
- Digital x-rays to spot hidden issues below the surface
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay
- Dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of molars from bacteria and plaque
We also provide personalised guidance on at-home care, helping to ensure you and your family develop healthy habits that keep teeth strong between visits.
