Introduction
When your examination is complete, your dentist will make recommendations for your home oral health care and a treatment plan. Your dentist may suggest a particular type of toothbrush or cleaning product. Your dentist will let you know how often you should have your teeth professionally cleaned and examined. This can vary from person to person and is usually every six months to a year. You may need to make an additional appointment for a treatment, such as having a cavity filled. To ensure healthy teeth, you should make and attend all of your dental appointments.
