Q: How often do I need to go to the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that most adults and children visit the dentist every six months for an oral exam and dental cleaning. However, you may need to go more often if you are at a high risk of oral health issues, are undergoing other dental treatments, have a history of dental cavities, are elderly or immunocompromised, or have orthodontia or a dental restoration or appliance.
