First dentist visit in years

[debidoo]

I haven't been to the dentist in approximately 10 years due to lack of funds primarily so I don't need as much work as I was afraid I would but more than I would like so.......................and it isn't cheap for sure.  WOW life is so much fun sometimes.  Do you regularly go to the dentist?

[NRAJOE]

Haven't been to a dentist in 30 yrs....got in a car accident and cracked a rear molar....so far no cavities...

I haven't been in a few years. I need to go. Really low on funds.

[monnee]

Yes, for healthy teeth, go every six months for a check up.

didn't go for 5 years got all my teeth pulled when I did go it was bad

I didn't go for a few years in my late 20's and I soooo regret it. I have been going regularly for about 4 years now, but the initial costs of cleaning, and repairs, etc were so high, I should have just been going all along. I now go 3 times a year. My dental insurance is not that expensive and my copays are low. I only get one set of teeth so trying to take care of them.

[nmbrown863]

I do now. I have had so many issues with my teeth. You are right, even with insurance dental work is crazy expensive.

[dsosnowski06]

Don't go every year but try to go every 2 years.  Have a private insurance that we pay for and it is still expensive. I have been lucky but not my husband.

[dreamyxo]

Yes I do go regularly because I have dental insurance.  There was a time I wasn't working and didn't have insurance and I got a cleaning, x rays and check up for $25 at a dental school.  If you can't afford it see if there is a dental school in your area because they offer discounted rates.  They can't do all the services you might need but at least they can do a cleaning and check up.  The students need to practice and they advertise that's how I found out.  I saw an ad in craigslist years ago.  The students are supervised by their professors so you're still being seen by a professional.

I go every six months now that I have dental insurance.  Without it, I would go every year to year & a half due to the expense.  Fortunately, I haven't had a cavity in many, many, many years!
