How Often Should You Book a Dental Check-Up?
A guide to personalised check-up intervals.
Reviewed by [verified clinician]
There isn’t one interval that suits everyone. How often you should see a dentist depends on your oral health, your history, and the advice of the clinician who examines you.
Why intervals vary
Some people are advised to return more frequently because of gum health, previous treatment, or other risk factors. Others may be advised to return less often.
What a check-up usually involves
A check-up typically includes a conversation about any concerns, an examination of your teeth and gums, and a discussion of any recommended next steps.
Ask about your own schedule
At your next visit, ask your dentist what interval they recommend for you, and why. It’s a simple question that makes your plan clearer.
