How often do you go to the Dentist?

I have dentures due to a car wreck removing 26 teeth.Demoralizing, yes. My fault, no. I have mixed feelings. They were able to replicate my teeth due to photos, but I had perfect teeth!!!!!~!!

I have serious dental phobia. I had extra teeth as a child, and went through terror and trauma to have the extra teeth removed (seven shots of Lidocaine and several hours work to remove one of the teeth, which had adult roots, when I was only six years old. This happened three or four times when I was a child, and I am terrified of dentists. I usually only go if something is really wrong. Then, I have to be medicated with tranquilizers, (I can't use gas, it makes me hallucinate) and usually end up with an anxiety attack anyway.

I'd rather have abdominal surgery than smell a dentist's office.

I'm lucky that I have strong enamel and very strong teeth.

It's definitely been over five years for me. I take care of my teeth the best I can, so I'm not planning on going unless I'm in any kind of pain.

Once a year. I take good care of my teeth, so more than that is unnecessary.

I used to go every 6 months but once I started college and moved away, I haven't been to the dentist. I just never found a dentist in town.

Every 6 months pretty much. Exceptions for the rare cavity or whatever.
