You should come to see Dr. Ryan Wallrich at Harbor Family Dental every six months. While some patients with gum disease may need more frequent appointments, six-month visits are appropriate for most patients and recommended by the ADA. 1. Make Full Use Of Your Dental Insurance: Almost every insurance plan covers two teeth cleanings and oral exams per year at no cost. 2. Avoid Common Oral Health Issues To Save Time & Money: At your six-month appointment, Dr. Wallrich will examine your mouth for signs of cavities and gum disease that you may not notice on your own. 3. Keep Your Smile Bright & Beautiful: Your dental hygienist will remove tartar and plaque, helping remove surface stains. Your smile will be buffed using a high-powered tooth polisher. 4. Get Peace Of Mind After Your Appointment: Dr. Wallrich will give you a clean bill of health or discuss treatment options if needed.
