Visit a dental professional twice a year for a routine dental exam. Your routine dental exam may include X-rays, a gum health assessment, a dental cleaning, and an evaluation to diagnose cavities and the risk of developing other oral problems.
A dentist or hygienist will likely discuss your diet and oral hygiene habits and may demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Depending on the result of your oral health check-up, you may have to see your provider more often.
