Are Biannual Dental Check-Ups Necessary?
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings every six months may not be necessary for everyone, as evidence suggests risk-based schedules are equally effective in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. The need for frequent visits depends on individual oral health risk factors, with some people requiring more or less frequent care. Maintaining good oral hygiene at home and avoiding sugary foods are key to healthy teeth and gums.
