Ideally, you should visit your dentist in Canberra every 6-12 months, as dental check-ups can help with the detection of dental problems long before the onset of any symptoms. The prompt detection of dental cavities and/or gum disease will allow your Canberra dentist to treat these problems more easily. This will also give you a better chance of prolonging the lifespan of your natural teeth, and avoid the need for more expensive dental care in Canberra.

Your dentist will advise you of an appropriate time between dental check-ups, depending on your dental health and past dental history.
