Tip for people who like to avoid the dentist, either for financial reasons or othewise- go more often! If you get your checkups at minimum of every six months, you will be able to keep everything healthier making the cleaning visit more comfortable. It will also allow you to catch any conditions that require treatment at a very early stage that will be far easier to treat and correct. If too much time passes between visits, conditions such as decay or periodontal disease will advance, forcing you to have many visits and additional procedures to treat.
