Frequently Asked Questions

How often you go for a dental exams depends on your oral health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a dental exam every six months. We may suggest that you visit more or less often depending on how well you care for your teeth and gums, problems you have that need to be checked or treated, or how fast tartar builds up on your teeth.

How often you need to have x-rays also depends on your oral health. A healthy adult who has not had cavities or other problems for a couple of years probably won't need x-rays at every appointment. If your dental situation is less stable and we are monitoring your progress, you may require more frequent x-rays.
