Some wind up going years in between checkups, feeling as though if there was a problem, they would know about it. This could be due to having a busy life or it could be due to having an innate fear of the dentist's chair, which is a surprisingly common phobia. General dentistry isn't intended to make you afraid, though. It's intended to provide you with the preventative techniques that can keep your teeth in excellent health. The American Dental Association is at the forefront of encouraging individuals to get to their dentist's office more often. While the default time period in between visits remains six months, they do recommend that certain people-those that have been labeled "at risk"-make the visit even more often than that.
