Question of the Day - March 27th!

I have a dentist appointment today How often do you go to the dentist? Ever have a cavity? I'm pretty sure I have at least one right now

I didn't go to the dentist for several years but as of the last 2 I have been going every 6 months.
I don't have and cavities right now, or at least I had better not I just had tons of dental work done...I grind my teeth so had to have some reconstruction done on several.

I haven't been in a couple of years due to insurance... I have it now, though, and just need to find time to take off and go. I've had a ton of cavities, even though I brush well, use rinse, and floss. I just have the kind of teeth that develop them easy.

I don't want to talk about it.

They usually like you to go every 6 months here in the UK, but i go once a year.

Tom, my dentist has a poster off all different cat breeds on the ceiling so you get your mind taken off anything that has to be done when you lie back in the chair

Would rather put pokers through my eyes than go.

Does that answer the question?

My teeth ache just thinking about it.

what she said...

I haven't gone in about 2 years because of insurance

I had cavities when I was younger, but none since

I need to get and get my wisdom teeth taken out though, they drive me nuts!

I go every 6 months and it doesn't bother me at all!! If I need work done I don't get novacain either. When we were growing up our dentist never used it so I don't like the needle and the numbness-its quicker just to drill and fill!!

No probs with the teeth either but I don't like to floss!!

I absolutely, positively hate going to the dentist. I'd rather do just about anything else medical (yes, even the dreaded gyno) than go to the dentist. I have an itsy-bitsy mouth, a tongue that refuses to get out of the way, and really sensitive teeth and gums. It's torture for me. Ughhhh.

Despite all that, I make it my goal to go every six months. Usually it's more like nine, but I do try. I know it's important; I just can't take it.

My last visit was in February, and I didn't have any cavities The time before that, though, I had two

I hate going to the dentist but I go every six months, unless I have to have a baby tooth removed! . But mostly my teeth are perfect.

I have been awake at 3:30 every morning for the past week with a sensitive tooth. I am making a dentist appt today.
I havn't been in a while since I have no dental coverage at work.

I haven't been to the dentist since the last time my mother made me when I was a teenager . I despise dentists.

I go once a year. It's such a relief after having braces for 4 years and going to the braces guy EVERY month. I had a cavity once, but that tooth was being pulled anyway.

I had 18 teeth pulled in my life!!!! And yes some of those were perminant teeth. I think I'm missing at least 4 adult teeth, and of course my wisdom teeth.

Back from the dentist! I have 3 cavities, but not having gone in 2 years that's not bad

I had a wisdom tooth out a few days before Christmas and a broken root filling was patched up. Gotta go back in about a month to have it fixed properly. I`d rather go and get them checked once a year than have toothache again and I keep having dreams that my teeth are falling out so I want to look after them

I actually like the dentist. I go every 6 months, and I brush twice a day and floss every day. I am a hygiene dork.

I do the every 6 month deal.

My new dentist is pretty awesome. HE...not the hygentist...does the cleaning I've never had that before!!

i haven't had a cavity in probably 4-5 years...
