How often do you go to a Dentist?

I haven't been in a long time. It's probably been 8 years or so. But I've never had a cavity before!

I'd like to see one though, just to get checked up. I'd see one more often, but I have no dental insurance, too expensive for me.

Every 6 months. If you put back $10 a month you can get a cleaning at the IUPUI dental school. Once your teeth start to go it sucks. stay on top of them.

I have dental insurance and I never go.

I go everyday but Im in dental school so I kind of have to. For what it's worth the school (in Indy) costs about half of what a private practice costs for most procedures.

I haven't been for awhile.

I have dental insurance but i have only been, i think 5 times in the last 40 years. I had to have impacted wisdom teeth cut out and one cavity fixed.
My wife goes every 6 months and has had numerous root canals bridges.caps and crowns. We are in our 50's

I hate the dentist! I haven't been in awhile.

Every 6 months for the past 25 years or so.

NOT since, I was deployed, in 2004, at my age, I just let them fall out one at a time..... it's cheaper, and keeps my tolerance for pain higher .....

[Sgood]

after 20 years...i started going about 2years ago and go every 6months, now........but after 20 years i had one cavity and needed below my gums cleaned....(Painfull) and I take 30mg of morphine three times a day and norco 10/325 up to 6 times a day and it still hurt....not to scare you.

I try at least once a year.
Sometimes it can be a couple times a month if I need some job done.
I go in France since im covered by the french health care system, so it's free anytime I go.

 

[Citronman1980]

Every six months for almost my whole life.

 

[eldirector]

Been a looonnnggg time. I should probably change that.

Every 6 mo. To see the build-up they scrape off at 6 mo, I would hate to see my teeth without cleaning in a few years...and I brush at least 2 times a day. I have dental ins so 2 times a year and it is free...no reason not to.

 

[Fenway]

That is what makes me cringe. I brush twice a day with a sonicare and floss every once in a while and go every 6 months yet every time they are ripping plaque off my bottom teeth like crazy. I can only imagine how bad it would be if I waited years

I brush 3 times a day. Morning, lunch time and before I go to bed. Flossing at night also.

Never having cavities before, and eating healthy, it's worked so far.

But I would like to start seeing a dentist again. It's been a very very long time.

I go every six months! I with my medical doctor was as persistent and pestered me to come in for my yearly checkup. It's like trying to get in to see the queen! BTW, how do you know you don't have cavities? I'm asking because I just don't know. Do they hurt or something?
