How Frequently Should I Have a Dental Check-Up and Cleaning?
One of the best investments you can make for your smile and overall health is a visit to the dentist on a regular basis. At Dental Mansion in Mulund West, under the leadership of Dr. Rohan B Tari (MDS Implantologist and Orthodontist), we believe preventive care is the key to a healthy, confident smile.
Why Dental Check-Ups and Cleanings Are Important
Despite regular brushing and flossing every day, plaque and tartar can accumulate in places your toothbrush can't reach. If left unaddressed, such accumulation can lead to cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Professional cleaning eliminates buildup and keeps your gums healthy and your teeth clean and shiny. Check-ups are more than just cleaning — the dentist inspects teeth, gums, and jaw to catch early signs of cavities, infection, or bite problems that can be corrected early.
The Recommended Frequency: Every Six Months
For most individuals, a check-up and cleaning every six months is recommended. Twice a year, this routine helps keep your smile healthy and minimizes the chances of unexpected dental emergencies. At Dental Mansion, Mulund, our staff uses modern diagnostic technology and gentle methods to make each session effortless and stress-free.
Who May Need More Visits?
While six months is a general rule of thumb, some people need check-ups more frequently — typically once every 3–4 months. You could be among them if you have conditions such as:
- Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- A history of repeat cavities
- Diabetes or other conditions that compromise immunity
- Orthodontic braces, dental implants, or crowns
- Heavy tartar buildup despite good hygiene
- A smoking or tobacco habit
What to Expect During a Check-Up and Cleaning
A typical visit includes a thorough examination of teeth, gums, and bite; digital X-rays if needed; professional cleaning (scaling to remove tartar, polishing for shine, and occasionally fluoride treatment); and personalized advice on brushing, flossing, diet, and oral hygiene.
- Examination – thorough check of teeth, gums, and bite
- Digital X-rays (if needed) – to view hidden areas
