I haven't been since 1998 (do I win?). Never lost a tooth. They look fine. I swish around some Sodium Hydroxide, then floss and they're good to go.

Dentist visits (from memory) would be so much better if they didn't have that awful saliva vacuum. Damn that thing sucks.



I first went to the dentist (Besides as an infant) at age 13... 12 years. Had no cavities. Just trust the guy.

P.S. I don't tajke good care of my teeth. I can go a month without brushing and be cavity free.



as long as you brush your teeth 3 times a day everything is good trust me....I have not been to the dentist not once in my life and my teeth are fine.

You are probably younger and brush and floss - so its logical but if you neglect cleanings like that as you get older you won't be so lucky

Get regular cleanings



Dentists are for when things go wrong. If your teeth are OK, you don't need one. Unless you're American, then he'll charge you $1,000 to bleach them.



If you take good care of your teeth, then your dentist is right, if not, try a different dentist.



Trust your doctor they are specialized in their work. You should be happy for suggestions.



You must brush a lot and stay of the candy.



I guess you take good care of your teeth. You probably brush and floss or use mouthwash.



don't you trust the word of a trained professional then?



I haven't been there for 10 years,last visited on 2000



lucky you! lol
