Regular dental check-ups remain one of the most important steps to keeping your mouth healthy, your smile beautiful, and your treatment costs low.
But in 2025, with busy lives and changing guidance, many people still wonder, how often do you really need to visit the dentist?
At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore, our specialists combine the latest UK oral health data with advanced digital diagnostics to create personalised care plans helping you maintain long-term oral health, prevent serious issues, and enjoy a confident smile at every age.
📊 New UK Dental Attendance Data for 2025
Recent surveys from the Oral Health Foundation and NHS Digital reveal some surprising trends in dental attendance across the UK:
- Only 54% of adults visited a dentist within the last 12 months.
- Around 1 in 4 adults delay dental appointments until they feel pain.
- Regular attenders are 60% less likely to need emergency dental treatment.
- Gum disease remains the leading cause of adult tooth loss, often due to missed check-ups.
These findings highlight one key point: prevention is more effective (and affordable) than treatment.
💎 What About Dental Hygiene Visits?
In addition to your dentist check-up, we recommend professional hygiene appointments every 3–6 months.
Our dental hygienists and therapists in Stanmore provide:
- Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Gum disease prevention and management
- Stain removal and teeth polishing
- Home care advice tailored to your needs
Regular hygiene visits not only keep your teeth sparkling but also protect your long-term gum and bone health, essential for anyone with dental implants, crowns, or orthodontic treatment.
