yea right

no.

Yes, I just wish I had as a child.
-
Actually, every four. He sometimes has to do a little drilling, but so little it doesn't hurt. I also floss every day, miss maybe twice a year, and he tells me it's not worth my money to have my teeth professionally cleaned.
-
Ha! Going to the dentist is such a waste of time. I mean, I've NEVER been to the dentist, & look at how well I turned out!
-
No way, my insurance doesn't cover dental and my budget doesn't allow for it.
-
I do not have dental insurance and I am not rich. Also I am a devoted member of the ADC (Afraid of the Dentist Club).
-
I do. I have a limited income and no dental insurance, but I've been going to the same dentist for 40 years, and he and his son cut me a break and let me pay in installments with no interest. I have poor general health, but my teeth are still in great shape and I'd like to keep it that way. I have only 5 fillings. I figure that the cleanings and xrays are good preventative maintenance, and that catching a problem early would make things less expensive in the long run.
-
Nope.
-
Yes. Sometimes I'm a little late, though.
-
Yes...my dentist is also my uncle, so it's free. Why would I pass that up?
-
Yeppers. My sister's a hygienist and even though we have to go to a different dental practice for insurance coverage purposes I wouldn't want to hear about it from my sister if I didn't have impeccable chompers!
-
I should of..... but fortunately I still have that one big tooth that protrudes out from my upper lip.
-
Nope, every 4 months because there is something weird about my saliva and I need it that often no matter how much I floss or brush. And my lower teeth are very close together making a problem area in the front. But it doesn't' cost too much even though we don't have insurance. I think it is preventative maintenance.
-
I went last month. I had not been to the dentist in almost 5-years, but hope to get back to every 6 months. I have good teeth with only one cavity, but I don't want to push my luck.
