Do I Need To See The Dentist Every 6 Months?

 

A question asked time and again is how often should I see my dentist? It is recommended by oral professionals to you see your dentist at least every 6 months, but is it necessary?

 

According to the Australia’s Oral Health Tracker study, published in 2018 and conducted by Australian Dental Association, over 90% of Australian adults have experienced dental caries (tooth decay or cavities) at some point in their lives and over one-quarter of Australian children and adults live with untreated tooth decay in their primary teeth.

 

Now while there is no evidence or research concerning the frequency at which you see your dentist, it is quite evident that the majority of the population is suffering.

 

To paint a picture, you supposedly service your vehicle every 6-12 months or every 5,000kms – 10,000kms, but why? To prevent mechanical fault, increase longevity, and to ensure your vehicle is safe to drive.
