How often should I visit the dentist?
The standard recommendation is to go to the dentist twice a year to check and clean.
The main reason is:
So your dentist can check for problems you may not see or feel
Let your dentist find early signs of decay (decay does not become visible or causes pain until it reaches a higher stage)
Any other oral health problems discovered by the treatment (in general, the sooner the problem is found, the easier it is to manage).
