Check-up Appointments

Usually once every 6 months except in some special cases where more frequent visits to monitor a particular condition may be needed. In some cases you can delay for more than 6 months, You dentist is the best person to advice regarding this.

One can start a dental check up from as soon as first baby tooth erupts in their mouth or from the age of 6 months.

Usually ten to twenty minutes but it can vary based on the findings in the mouth.
