Who needs checkups & cleaning?
Almost everyone benefits from a regular checkup. Most adults visit every six months, and people with gum problems, diabetes or pregnancy may need more frequent visits.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a dental checkup in Multan?
Most adults should visit every six months. Your dentist may suggest a shorter interval if you have gum problems, frequent decay or other risk factors.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
A cleaning is usually comfortable. Areas with heavy tartar may feel sensitive, and we can slow down or adjust our technique if you need it.
Can my child have a checkup at the same visit as me?
Yes. Families are welcome, and we see children and adults in the same clinic, with our team making every visit gentle.
Do I need a checkup if my teeth feel fine?
Yes. Decay and gum disease often cause no pain at first, so regular checkups are the best way to catch them early.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring any previous X-rays, a list of the medicines you take, and your questions. We will also ask about your health history.
