do you visit the dentist to check up your teeth regularly?

no i don't.i know it is needed but i think its simply waste of time.earlier also people did live with good teeth.if one can control what he/she eats i guess then there is no need for a check up.the doctors charge for nothing.if its once a while or only when you notice some irregularities then it is fine to go for a checkup otherwise i don't see a reason why one should go for a checkup.

Guilty! I haven't been to the dentist for years now. Actually, when my tooth ache I just take some pain relievers or paracetamol. I guess, I'm just quite afraid of the dentist that's why. Anyway, I promise to see my dentist soon for some prophylaxis, I know I need it now.

General oral health exams are important anyway - they don't just check your teeth but also your gums and the condition of your mouth, make sure you are screened for any cancers or infections, check your TMJ joints to make sure they are healthy, etc. It is easy to kind of not go and take care of things, I have had a few problems but NEVER any pain except when I had impacted wisdom teeth. That was awful. What's important is finding a good trustworthy friendly professional, someone to develop a positive relationship with so you feel comfortable asking for referrals, asking questions, calling their office for advice, etc. Without that, many people are NOT comfortable and will NOT go make appointments, etc.

So far all my teeth are in a healthy condition. I have never visited a dental doctor. But I myself are bothered about checking all the sides of my teeth especially inside ones. On week ends, spend 15 minutes to check them and makes sure that no harm is happening. But, an advice from the doctor is always suggested in normally cases. Regards, Thank-s

I do the same, precisely for the same reason, but I'm kind of picky for dentists so I usually go to the dentist just 6 times per year or depending how many times i travel to my country... i just go to that because have been my dentist of trust since i was 8

We visit our dentist every six months and in between if truly necessary (pain or infection, etc.) Excellent oral health will pay off in the long run. I find it digusting when young people have to wear dentures!

hell0! no, i don't check it regulary, because I don't have any problems with ym teeth!

nope i only visit the dentist when i have tooth problems or i want to get it off my gums... that is when i want to see my dentist/... as a matter of fact i hate them... they scare me ^^/// hehehe

I am checking my teeth often but if we care little precautions. we cant go to dentist. we brush our teeth both sections mean morning and after completion of our dinner and one more thing we have to change our tooth brush 3 months for once.
