Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health, and at Pure Dental Toowoomba, we typically recommend visiting every six months for most patients. However, Dr Nicola may suggest more frequent visits based on your individual needs.
Why twice yearly? These regular visits allow us to:
- Monitor your oral health and catch potential issues early
- Professionally clean your teeth and remove built-up tartar
- Check for signs of tooth decay or gum disease
- Screen for oral cancer
- Assess any changes in your bite or jaw alignment
- Update your dental records and x-rays as needed
Some patients may need to visit more frequently, particularly if they:
- Have a history of gum disease
- Are at higher risk of dental caries
- Smoke or use tobacco products
- Have diabetes or other medical conditions affecting oral health
- Are undergoing specific dental treatments
- Have a weakened immune system
Personalised Dental Care Tailored to You
During your consultation, Dr Nicola will assess your oral health and recommend a check-up schedule tailored to your specific situation. Remember, prevention is always better than cure. Regular dental visits help maintain your oral health and can save you time, discomfort, and expense in the long run.
If you notice any concerns between scheduled visits—such as tooth pain, bleeding gums or unusual changes in your mouth—don't wait for your next check-up. Contact our Toowoomba dental practice straight away, and we'll ensure you receive prompt attention.
