Any areas of concern will be referred to the most appropriate oral health care professional as needed. Other healthcare providers, such as a medical doctor and many others, may be referred to as well.
A dental exam with a dentist is advisable. How often you go for dental exams depends on your oral health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early. For some people, once a year is sufficient but your dentist may suggest that you visit more often due to problems you have that need to be checked or treated.
