How Routine Should It Be To Check Your Teeth? Here's The Doctor's Explanation

JAKARTA - Maintaining dental health is not only by brushing your teeth properly and maintaining oral hygiene. Dental health must also be maintained by checking the condition of your teeth to a doctor.

Checking the condition of the doctor's teeth does not have to be due to toothaches. Dental examination should be carried out regularly, because with the examination it can be known the condition of the teeth in detail, whether there is damage that is not realized to prevent problems with the teeth.

For routine examinations, dentists are recommended every six months. The period of dental examination to doctors is 6 months usually for people with teeth without problems.

"If the teeth don't have serious problems, once every 6 months (tooth check) is actually enough," said the Founder & Medical Director of the JNJ Specialist Dental Center, drg. Jeddy, Sp. KGA, when met in the Senayan area, Jakarta, on Friday, August 8, 2025.

However, there are other factors that also affect the frequency of routine visits to dentists. If the dentist has suffered severe damage and requires intense treatment, then the schedule for the dentist can be faster according to the doctor's advice.

"However, in cases of patients that are already severe, already complex, it is not recommended once every 6 months. Sometimes a month later we suggest coming again, checking," he explained.

In clinical selection for dental treatment, it must also be considered. It is recommended to choose a clinic that not only provides dental care with qualified facilities, but also those that pay attention to the emotional and psychological aspects of patients at every stage.

Like at the JNJ Specialist Rental Center with a new flagship in Senayan, combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge diagnostic technology. The treatments that can be done are such as invisalign, same-day crown installation, smile makeover, dental implants, to fullmouth rehabilitation, which is supported by advanced technologies such as CBCT 3D scans to Rayface facial scanning.

We believe that dental health is not just a matter of appearance, but also about well-being and self-confidence. Therefore, we focus on solutions not only to improve a smile, but also the quality of a person's life as a whole," said Doctor Jeddy.
