Patients with healthy gums and teeth should visit the dentist twice a year for routine cleanings and checkups to maintain their oral health and catch any concerns early. Those with a history of periodontal disease may benefit from more frequent visits, typically three to four times a year, to help manage their condition and prevent progression. You should also schedule an appointment anytime you experience pain, discomfort, or notice changes in your mouth, or if you simply have questions or concerns about your dental health. At Westerly Dental Clinic, we are here to support you, ease your worries, and provide expert care whenever you need us.
