The standard recommendation is to visit your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. Twice yearly appointments work well for most people; however, there are some people who may need to be seen more often.

Your dentist will also conduct an oral exam of your gums and teeth, ask about changes in your overall health or medicine use, review the cleaning done by the dentist, look for signs of oral cancer and other diseases, diagnose any oral health problems and make treatment recommendations.The dentist should see new patients first and determine the appropriate x-rays to take.

Clean your baby's gums after every meal by wiping them with a damp rag or cloth. This step will remove bacteria and food particles from the gums. Once teeth start to develop, place a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste on a damp rag or cloth, and gently clean your baby's teeth. Don't let your baby fall asleep with a bottle.

Use the same small circular motion to clean the backside of the upper and lower teeth - the side that faces the tongue. To clean the inside of the bottom front teeth, angle the head in an up-and-down position toward the bottom inside of the mouth and move the toothbrush in a small circle. For the inside of the top front teeth, angle the brush in an up-and-down position with the tip of the head pointing toward the roof of the mouth.
