Should I go for teeth cleanings more often?
If you have good home care, I don’t think you should have a new cavity every 6 months. Still, brushing and flossing your teeth is a must after each meal. My recommendation to you is to ask the dentist to show the cavity. They are easy to see with new technology like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. Good luck. READ MORE
