Frequently Asked Dental Questions – Milton, MA

How often should I be visiting the dental office?

Every patient should receive at least two professional checkups and cleanings every calendar year, which comes out to one appointment every six months. Any less often, and there would be a much greater risk of oral health problems developing undetected. When we have a chance to detect troublesome dental symptoms in their earliest stages, we can take appropriate measures to stop major damage from occurring at all.
