Skincare appointments, gym sessions and healthier eating habits often feature in many people’s wellness routines. But when was the last time dental care got a spot on that list? Looking after one’s teeth is often associated with fixing cavities or easing a toothache, yet regular dental visits have a much bigger role to play. From keeping gums healthy to maintaining a confident smile, oral care deserves a place in everyday self-care, even when nothing seems wrong.
Audy Dental’s patient data from 2025 to 2026 offers an interesting glimpse into how people’s dental care habits are evolving. Collected across more than 65 clinics in Java and Bali, the findings show that preventive treatments, particularly scaling, remain a leading priority among adults. Families are also getting children acquainted with regular dental visits through check-ups and early preventive treatments such as fluoride varnish. Younger patients are showing greater interest in aesthetic dentistry, while older adults tend to have a wider range of needs, from routine maintenance to restorative and curative treatments.
Location also has a say in people’s dental care preferences. Across Greater Jakarta, Bandung, Karawang and other cities in Java and Bali, preventive treatments remain the most common choice. Patients in Greater Jakarta tend to prioritise restorative procedures next, while those in other regions show greater interest in aesthetic treatments.
For drg. Yulita, CEO of Audy Dental, these differences highlight why dental care should be tailored to individual needs. She also emphasises the importance of changing the way people approach dental visits, encouraging them to seek preventive care regularly instead of waiting for a problem to arise.
Making that habit easier is part of Audy Dental’s ongoing efforts. The network plans to open eight additional branches across Java and Bali in 2026, while continuing to improve its service standards, transparent pricing and digital infrastructure. Through the Easy Appointment service, patients can access information and make reservations via a centralised WhatsApp number around the clock, with Smart Reminder helping them keep track of upcoming appointments.
Dental health education also reaches people outside the clinic. Throughout 2026, Audy Dental has visited more than 55 lifestyle areas, schools and offices across Java to introduce more people to the importance of oral care.
Perhaps it’s time to give dental appointments the same standing as other wellness commitments. Regular check-ups are an investment in long-term health, while preventive care can help catch concerns before they become bigger problems. A healthy smile is something worth looking after every day, not just when it starts asking for attention.
