For babies, toddlers, and children, booking a dental check-up or dental appointment every 6 months is typically an appropriate interval to ensure your child’s teeth are healthy and all oral problems are caught in the early stages. Depending on your child, their oral hygiene habits, and overall oral health, your dentist may wish to schedule appointments more or less frequently. That being said, generally speaking, booking a dentist appointment every 6 months is enough to help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other periodontal issues.
As for adults and even teenagers, it’s more common for dental appointments to be booked closer to 1-year intervals. Depending on your oral history, and the current state of your gums and teeth, your dentist will likely suggest an appropriate time frame that makes sense for you. This could be every 6 months if you’re struggling with frequent oral issues like gingivitis or cavities, or it could be closer to 1 or 2 years if you rarely have issues during your appointments.
At Pretoria Bridge Dental, we take dental anxiety very seriously. We understand many of our patients suffer from stress and anxiety when it comes to booking and arriving at their dentist appointments. We always want to make sure our dental patients feel as comfortable as possible during their dentist appointments. All of our staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and well-trained so you can rest assured you will be getting the best care possible.
Due to the state of dental anxiety in Ottawa, our dental office also offers sedation dentistry to our patients. Sedation dentistry is commonly used for patients (if they wish) to ensure their dentist appointments and procedures go smoothly. Sedation dentistry can help patients who avoid the dentist altogether, significantly reduce dental anxiety, and can even make appointments go quicker! Contact our team today and inquire about our sedation dentistry services.
Encouraging children to actively participate in oral hygiene can be difficult. Even more so when it comes to forming long-term oral hygiene habits. To promote good oral hygiene habits for your children, below we will list a few helpful techniques and tips we have found to be successful for many parents:
When children are involved, reliable emergency dental care can be a top priority for parents when they’re choosing a family dentist.

We know dental emergencies can strike at inconvenient times (including outside typical working hours).
