For adults with good oral health, a check-up every six months is a general recommendation. This interval may be shorter for individuals with a higher propensity for cavities, gum problems, or those undergoing orthodontic treatment. We will determine the correct frequency together after the examination.

No. Professional cleaning removes tartar and plaque without damaging the enamel. There may be some temporary sensitivity after the procedure; this is temporary. Continued tartar buildup poses a much greater risk than professional cleaning.

The deep grooves (fissures) on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth are susceptible to decay. Fissure sealants prevent the accumulation of food and bacteria by sealing these grooves with a thin filling material. They are an particularly effective protection method for newly erupted permanent teeth.

Fluoride application, performed under the supervision of a dentist, strengthens enamel, increasing resistance to decay, and is safe. The application dose is adjusted according to age and risk level. Combined with home care, it significantly reduces the formation of cavities.

Brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, using dental floss or interdental brushes, and limiting sugary snacks are basic steps. These habits make the preventive treatments in the clinic lasting.
