When was the last time you went to the dentist?

I realized that I am 21 years old and the last time I went to the dentist I was 7 years old. I brush my teeth regulary but it's been years since I was to the dentist.

I try to go there at least once a year. They're very expensive, even for a basic check-up.

It's more effective to brush your teeth than to wash them.

For helpful tips like this and more check with you local dentist more often than every 14 years.

I go every six months. So like four months ago. It's never fun.

It's been way too long. My job doesn't offer insurance so I don't have an appointment scheduled every six months anymore.

I used to go every six months until my employer dropped dental insurance, now I never go.

Some half an year ago. I check them annually.

Now you've edited your post to make me look like the crazy one, what with the brushing and the washing.

I am fucking on to you, I am on to you buddy! I'm all over this one snaggletooth, you're not fooling me!

Im my native language we call brushing out teeth washing out teeth. That's why I made a confusion.

I think I'm going on at least 8+ years since I last went.

Last year.

I go every six months and never have cavities 8)

In my native language we don't make confusions we make babies, so let's get to it. Let's get down to brown town.

Probably about 6 or so years ago, I'm 22 now. About the same time for the doctors.

I've gone about 3 times in the last 20 years (but my teeth are still pretty good). I should probably go more often considering it's free, though.

Up for some desert?

I was in your boat, ended up needing major work in my early twenties, expensive, better to go at least once a year, take on the problems as the come, less disruptive.

Yesterday! My insurance pays for a trip every 6 months and goddamnit, I'm going every time. I've never had a cavity and I'd like to keep it that way- especially after I've had so much work done to fix my fucked up teeth. Spoiler: I didn't die on the operating table.

1 month ago, just for a check up. Free healthcare, yeah!

Last month

Two weeks. I got my wisdom teeth pulled.

This morning. Stupid popcorn.

About 4 years ago, though I have great teeth so I've never had a reason to go before anyway, and I'm no longer covered by the NHS for dental because I'm over 18 (dental is private in the UK, btw) so I thought, "why bother paying money to see my dentist only for her to say 'Yeah, teeth are fine, bye' and then leave?"

So I don't go.

Monday. Afterwards, my teeth were a bloody mess.

About a month ago. First time for ages, but got a clean bill of dental health, despite my lack of flossing.

I actually can't remember. Many years. My teeth are still white, don't have holes in them, don't hurt and aren't falling out.

I'll go if I need to though.

Too long ago.

August of 2011, yeesh.

bout a month ago , had a wisdom tooth yanked out , i need 3 more gone :/ plus i have a nasty cavity somewhere in one of my main molars , so :( back to the dentist pretty soon!

I went every 6 months as a civilian...now I can only go once a year, so it was last June.

going on 2 years. I really need to go but I get so depressed because it jacks up my Jaw (TMJ) and all the dentist does is bitch about flossing.

Usually every 6 months, but it's about a year. I'll be making an appointment soon. Haven't needed anything other than some cleaning, no braces or cavities for me. At least not yet lol.

Last time I went they told me to get my wisdom teeth out, and I did.

It's been about 8 years now.

Its been a long damn time. I don't have coverage so unless were talking something that is either so painful that I can't stand it or something like a possible infection that could be deadly or extremely harmful I'm not going to shell out that kind of money out of my pocket for my teeth. I'll brush and use some mouth wash and hope for the best.

I'd say it's been about two years. Maybe slightly less than two years. I had decent insurance back then, and I don't feel like paying stuff like wisdom teeth extraction, since that's like several hundreds of dollars.

2 months. I had my fillings replaced.

Yesterday actually, oddly enough. In the weeks before, I thought I had a cavity but it was a very stingy piece of food stuck in there for two weeks. Ended up as a routine checkup and cleaning (and a poor one at that). Before that, I think it was six months ago.

I usually go once a year for a regular check up. I have another appointment scheduled in May. Not looking forward to going back there.

If you have insurance you should probably go to the dentist. I had a 6 year or so absence in my late teens/early twenties and thought my mouth was fine, but turned out while my teeth were fine my gums were in less than great shape. Dental Scaling is a procedure best left avoided if possible. At the very least make sure you floss!

last year. i had a bad cavity. and apparently a root canal wouldnt take cus i got punched in the face years ago and apparently that caused the "prong fang thing" thats in your jaw to break so the root canal wouldnt work so now i have an empty spot in my teeth :(

Last summer. I go every year because I'm not a dirty hobo.

lol. It's been a year for me. One of my teeth fell out and I need a $1,200 crown.

Once a year, actually it is around a year ago, so I should get a card from my dentist with a time on it soon.

About 6 months ago, I usually go at least once every year.

Last year when I shattered my two front teeth at work. Before that it was when I shattered my two front teeth on a curb at thirteen.

I need to go to the dentist more and stop smashing my front teeth on things.

Like 6 or 7 years. >.<

Coming up on 8 years. I was gonna do it 3 years ago, but had to cancel my appointment back then. Nowadays I make so little money that I wouldn't dare go there.

Well, technically, today. I have an appointment for this afternoon, but before this, probably six months ago. Go at least twice a year.

Probably about 2 years ago. I had 4 cavities.

They fucked up my right molar to the point were there is no surface area left. The inside side of my tooth is paper thin because of it. I'm just waiting for it to break.

After that visit, I'm taking a lot better care of my teeth. I try to brush every day if I remember,

Been a few years.... no insurance so i cant really afford it right now.
