Today I have my second visit to dental care in three days. I have so much tartar so I had to go more than once this week. In itself it is good to keep in track of your mouth as well as everything else. Oral care is as important as other care. If your mouth and teeth are not treated with respect falls the rest of your body in illness. So yes, I go more often to dental care to keep my mouth and dental health just as good as the rest of the body. What do you think?

My mom has tartar build up too and it's a pain in the butt for her! I think she goes about once every three months for it. I go twice a year. It's important to keep your teeth healthy, especially since healthy teeth can help a healthy heart too! :)

For some of us it is bad. It is a illnes in our genes. I have it so I have to go often just to keep them in good health. I guess she cant eat apples and pears like me either becous of difficulties to chew. So what I do is I have drinks to at least get the taste of it.

I use a food chopper to may my apples and other hard fruits softer so I can enjoy them as much as I want.

Yes, dental and mouth hygiene are important, unfortunately for some people the fees are expensive, so we cannot go as often as we should.

I know that, this two visits will cost me a lot. But I just have to go. I can not eat stuff like apples and pears as they are hard to chew becouse of bad teeth. It seems to be the most expensive health care we have.

I agree with you, dental care is the most expensive one. I guess dentist make the most money amongst all professions. Maybe not. Lawyer is still number one profession which make the most money.

Most people do not like to go to the dentist becouse of fear. So most wait untill there is no turn back. Live with pain as long as they can. I can not do that. I need to keep my teeth in good health. But as many others it is some fear when you go there. I was there last friday and what I did was singing while my oral dental care did her job and it worked fine.
