How often should a patient have a check up?

How often do you ask your patients to come for a check up?

Why do you ask them to come in for regular exams when they are not in pain or aware of any problems?

I know you are a great dentist and you ask your patients to come in on a regular basis because you want them to be healthy, happy and beautiful. Having a regular examination means that you can spot things early and help your patients by saving them time money and stress.

Your experience tells you that those patients that don’t come in regularly, are often the ones who have more complicated problems. For example, they may have broken a tooth that could be simply restored with a cuspal coverage inlay, however because they have not been seen for ages, you can’t do the restoration immediately because their perio is poor and that needs to be sorted first.

If your practice were a dental patient, when was its last exam? Is it a regular attender or does it only visit when in pain?
