New DYK: Only 50% of adults say that they visit their dentist every 6 months. After that, only 21% of adults say they’re seeing their dentist annually!

While there are a few people out there that can get away with fewer checkups, most of us need checkups every 6 months to make sure there aren’t any new problems popping up. Check with your dentist to see what kind of recall plan you should be placed on!
