Noranda Dental

How often should I visit the dentist?

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal oral health throughout your life. At Noranda Dental Clinic, we typically recommend that patients visit us every six months for routine examinations and professional cleanings.

These bi-annual appointments allow our team to monitor your oral health, detect any potential issues early and provide preventive care that helps avoid more complex problems in the future. During these visits, one of our experienced dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and oral tissues while our dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing cannot address.

Dentistry Tailored to Your Needs

However, we recognise that everyone's dental needs are unique. Some patients with excellent oral hygiene and no history of dental problems might require less frequent visits, whilst others with specific concerns such as gum disease, frequent decay or certain medical conditions may benefit from more regular appointments, perhaps every three or four months.

If you have dental implants, complex restorations or orthodontic appliances, your Noranda dentist might also recommend a customised schedule to ensure these are properly maintained and functioning as they should.

For pregnant women, we often suggest an additional check-up due to the hormonal changes that can affect oral health during pregnancy. Similarly, patients undergoing cancer treatment or managing chronic conditions like diabetes may require more frequent monitoring.

At our Noranda, WA dental practice, we'll work with you to develop a personalised dental visit schedule that addresses your specific needs and helps maintain your healthiest smile. Remember, consistent preventive care is far more comfortable and cost-effective than treating advanced dental problems.
