Gentle, Stress-Free Dental Check-Ups in London

At Calm Dental, we take a holistic approach to your dental care. At each recall visit, we take the time to discuss recent changes in your health, lifestyle, or any concerns you may have, ensuring your dental care aligns closely with your overall well-being.

Our thorough check-ups are personalized to your specific needs, helping maintain optimal oral health through meticulous assessment and thoughtful treatment planning.

We at Calm Dental believe in recommending only treatments that genuinely benefit your health. If some of your old fillings are cosmetically unappealing but not harmful, we are comfortable leaving them as they are. Should you wish to replace them for aesthetic reasons, we’ll ensure you know it’s your choice and not a necessity.

At Calm Dental, we understand that the ideal frequency for dental check-ups and hygienist appointments varies based on individual needs. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand how often you might consider scheduling these visits:

Routine Recommendations:

General Guideline: For many individuals, visiting the dentist and dental hygienist every six months is a common recommendation. This biannual schedule allows for regular monitoring and maintenance of oral health. ​

Personalized Care Based on Risk Factors:

High-Risk Individuals: If you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other oral health issues, more frequent visits—such as every three to four months—may be advisable. ​

Low-Risk Individuals: Conversely, those with a strong track record of oral health may find that annual visits suffice. ​

Factors Influencing Visit Frequency:

Lifestyle Choices: Habits like smoking or diets high in sugar can increase the risk of dental problems, potentially necessitating more frequent check-ups.​

Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes or weakened immune systems can impact oral health, influencing the recommended frequency of dental visits. ​

Professional Cleanings:

Hygienist Appointments: Regular cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup, which are not always eliminated by routine brushing and flossing. 

At Calm Dental, we prioritize a personalized approach to your oral health. During your visits, we’ll assess your unique situation and recommend a schedule that best suits your needs, ensuring optimal dental health and peace of mind.
