By recommending appropriate interventions—such as braces or clear aligners—I aim to not only enhance the aesthetic appearance of smiles but also prevent potential complications like tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw dysfunction.

    How Often I Recommend Each Family Member Visit the Dentist

    Dr Susan Pan, DDSByDr Susan Pan, DDS Hours Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Dr. Li recommends that most family members—children, teens, and adults—schedule dental checkups and cleanings at least twice a year. Infants should visit once their first tooth appears or by age one to spot early issues, while teens benefit from routine exams that address braces and wisdom teeth concerns. Adults are encouraged to attend bi-annual appointments to maintain oral health, detect gum disease, and manage any restorative work. Seniors may require more frequent checkups if they have conditions like periodontal disease or complex dental restorations. By tailoring the schedule to each individual’s needs, Dr. Li stresses the importance of prevention and early treatment for a healthier smile.
