Dental Hygiene

The question of how often you should go for dental hygiene depends on various factors. It is generally recommended that you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least once a year. This is not only good for the appearance of your smile, but also important for the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay.

If you are particularly concerned about your oral health or have an increased risk of dental problems, it would make sense to consider having your teeth cleaned every 6 months. This is especially true if you are prone to tartar or gum problems. More frequent dental hygiene may also be advisable for older people and those with certain chronic conditions, such as diabetes.

Your daily oral hygiene also plays a role, of course. If you brush your teeth regularly and thoroughly and use dental floss, you may be able to reduce the need for more frequent professional cleanings. But even with very good daily care, there are places in the mouth that are difficult to reach and should therefore be cleaned by a professional.

Regular oral health checks should also not be forgotten. These are important for checking your general oral health and can identify problems that require special treatment at an early stage.

To summarise: The optimal frequency for dental hygiene can vary from individual to individual, but at least once a year is generally recommended. However, a six-monthly frequency can be beneficial for optimal oral health. It is always good to discuss this with a professional at ALPINE WHITE Studio to create a personalised plan for your dental hygiene.
