Most Indians visit the dentist only when something hurts. This single habit is responsible for the majority of preventable dental problems. Here's the evidence-based answer.
Standard Recommendation
Every 6 months for routine check-up and professional cleaning.
High-Risk Patients
Smokers, diabetics, patients with gum disease history — every 3–4 months.
Children
Every 6 months from age 1.
Why Professional Cleaning?
Tartar (calculus) cannot be removed by brushing — only professional scaling removes it. Tartar is the primary driver of gum disease.
Annual X-Rays
Catch decay, bone loss and root issues before they become painful — saving time, money, and teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
Dr. Jinny screens for oral cancer at every checkup. Oral cancer incidence is rising in India — early detection is life-saving.
The Cost of Neglect
A twice-yearly checkup is a fraction of the cost of treating advanced gum disease, root canals, or implants that result from neglect. Prevention always wins.
