The last time I went to the dentist was a few weeks ago.

Hate it, but can't avoid it. I enjoy healthy and clean teeth, since your stuck with your teeth for the rest of your life.

[Jaely]

damn the last time i went was....i cant even remember like 2007? yeah. sad i know. let's say i move around a lot. but hey, i'm proud of my pearly whites

I routine visit is every 6 months.
I usually get a postcard from him, reminding me to make an appointment.
Last one, I forgot... maybe in October or November. He said I didn't need to go back for a year for the routine checkup, because my teeth condition's very good.

believe it or not..i'm 21 and never been to a dentist
parents usually take their kids to the dentist at a young age.. but my mom passed away when I was 2.. then my dad started to neglect us (me and my siblings).. so no one took me there.. luckily i grew up without facing any teeth problems! lol but I think I need to go very soon. there are small problems now

[robotomy]

I went to the dentist 3 months ago.

[flowoftime]

so long i dont remember... like... a couple of years..
i never had teeth problems so i dont need to go

[soulremix.]

I don't know, maybe a couple years ago .. I don't really have any free time to go to the dentist =x

[pprMNTE]

I went 2 months ago for a teeth cleaning, but usually I don't need to go to the dentist often. I brush my teeth pretty well.

[jiwoneex3]

when i had to take my stitches out from extracting my wisdom tooth.
that was like, two winters ago.

but i went a few weeks ago because my friend needed to get checked. if that counts.

anyway, i haven't gone in so long
because taking out my wisdom tooth was a nightmare for me.
i've been afraid of going ever since.

[Honey.bee]

I never ever went to dentist my life, even when I had problems with my teeth. They're all in place now though, I have to go someday to do random operations and checkups though.

[Pogichinoy]

I haven't been for 2 years. I don't like dentists because they cause me pain.

[buzyb33]

My last checkup was last month. I hate going to the dentist. Okay, so maybe that just applies to my dentist because of the terrible experiences I've had with him. But I do go about once or twice a year to get my teeth checked.

To those who have never gone to a dentist, I suggest you to read this.. and then make a dentist appointment.

Twelve-year-old Deamonte Driver died of a toothache Sunday. A routine, $80 tooth extraction might have saved him. If his mother had been insured. If his family had not lost its Medicaid. If Medicaid dentists weren't so hard to find. If his mother hadn't been focused on getting a dentist for his brother, who had six rotted teeth.

By the time Deamonte's own aching tooth got any attention, the bacteria from the abscess had spread to his brain, doctors said. After two operations and more than six weeks of hospital care, the Prince George's County boy died.

Deamonte's death and the ultimate cost of his care, which could total more than $250,000, underscore an often-overlooked concern in the debate over universal health coverage: dental care. Some poor children have no dental coverage at all. Others travel three hours to find a dentist willing to take Medicaid patients and accept the incumbent paperwork. And some, including Deamonte's brother, get in for a tooth cleaning but have trouble securing an oral surgeon to fix deeper problems.

Lol, my last visit to the dentist? Yesterday. I had some cavities removed and stuff.
I don't enjoy going to the dentist, but I don't hate it either. ^^

[haneul]

The last time I went to the dentist was roughly 6 months ago, so I have to go again soon. I don't enjoy going, but I need to take good care of my teeth.

[pink1e]

~1 yr I think.. I don't have insurance right now so I refuse to go. lol. I'll buy it soon before summer so I can get my wisdom teeth taken out. Oh the pain... and the money.

I don't really mind going to the dentist. I had braces in middle school and that called for frequent visits to the ortho so the whole fear of the dentist thing was never me.

[ninyaah]

Yesterday (: I have braces so I have them adjusted pretty often. I've been going to the dentist since I was little, so I'm not afraid of them. I have them cleaned every year. I don't have teeth problems either; I'm very lucky.

[P a p e r_C l i p]

Yesterday,
my mouth is still all sore =/

But usually i like going to the dentists if it's just a teeth cleaning
if i'm getting something done i dont like it D;
