How often can I get routine dental check-ups?

United Concordia recommends individuals undergo routine dental check-ups every six months. Regular dental visits are important for maintaining optimal oral health and addressing any potential issues early on. These check-ups include a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as professional teeth cleaning and sometimes X-rays. Biannual check-ups allow dentists to detect and prevent any dental problems, such as tooth decay or gum disease, before they become more serious and require extensive treatments. However, patients with specific dental conditions or higher risk of dental issues may be advised to visit their dentist more frequently based on their unique needs. It is best to consult with your dentist to determine the most suitable frequency of routine check-ups for your oral health.
