At Top Dental Care, located right here in Greenwood, Indiana, we know there are many myths about how often you really need to visit the dentist. Today, we’re here to clear things up and explain why regular check-ups are crucial for your smile and your overall health.

Myth #1: “I don’t have pain, so I don’t need a dentist.”

Fact:

Pain is not the only sign of a problem. Many dental issues, like cavities or gum disease, can develop silently. Regular visits allow us to catch problems early — often before you feel anything — and treat them easily.

Myth #2: “I only need to see a dentist once a year.”

Fact:

Most people should visit the dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and exam. Every mouth is different, but two visits per year help prevent plaque buildup, cavities, and more serious issues.

Myth #3: “Dental cleanings weaken my teeth.”

Fact:

Professional cleanings strengthen your teeth by removing plaque and tartar that you can’t remove at home. Skipping cleanings actually makes your teeth and gums more vulnerable.

Myth #4: “Children don’t need to visit the dentist as often as adults.”

Fact:

Children’s teeth are just as important as adult teeth. Early visits help kids build healthy habits and allow the dentist to monitor the development of their teeth and jaws.

At Top Dental Care, we recommend scheduling a check-up every six months to keep your smile strong, beautiful, and healthy.
