It is highly recommended that patients first consult their dentist who will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for an optimal outcome in their specific case. The best results are always going to be a result of a professional treatment.
How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?
It is recommended that you visit the dentist twice per year or every six months. There are exceptions to this rule however. If you have gum disease or a history of gum disease, the dentist may recommend more frequent visits in order to treat further disease progression.
