For healthy patients, ideally, the interval is every six months. Aside from checking for cavities or gum
disease, these visits are an excellent opportunity to screen for oral cancer. Oral cancer is challenging to diagnose on your own, and you'll have a better chance of treating it with a positive outcome the earlier you and your dentist in 11201 can detect it.
We Provide Comprehensive Dental Cleanings & Exams
If gum disease is present, we may discuss three—to four-month intervals to help you keep your condition under control. If we can detect gum disease in its earliest stages (gingivitis), we may be able to help you reverse it with a thorough professional teeth cleaning and improvements to your home care routine.
Protecting yourself against gum disease is essential because it's closely linked to contributing to several non-dental, chronic health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and complications during pregnancy.
