If anyone were to ask a dentist how frequently they should have their teeth cleaned and examined, people would discover that—unanimously—all dental professionals urge patients to visit twice a year. But with hectic lifestyles, constant distractions, and other priorities, visiting every six months is often overlooked by individuals. Brian S . Kubo, DDS of Kamuela, HI, the dentist to turn to for teeth whitening, root canals, and more, is here to suggest adults and children hold onto the New Year's resolution of visiting the dentist twice a year.

Visiting the dentist twice a year is so vital for healthy teeth as these appointments are usually the only times people can have their teeth professionally cleaned. While daily brushing and flossing are important, having an oral hygienist provide a rigorous cleaning will prevent plaque buildup, remove tartar, and ensure gums are strong and healthy. During the visit, the highly-skilled dental staff is more than happy to share dental tips and information every patient will benefit from.

But a biannual dental appointment isn't important just for the teeth cleanings. It is also the time for the dentist to check for any tooth decay, cavities, and other dental issues before they become even bigger, more expensive problems. Keep dental health in check with a couple dental checkups a year. It really pays off in the long run!
