Right now I go for cleanings every four months with the most recent being in late January (but only see the dentist every other time, as my insurance covers frequent cleanings but not frequent exams by the dentist...if that makes sense).</p> <p>I guess I'm mildly obsessive, but at 29 I've still never had a cavity and I'm trying to keep it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-went-to-the-dentist-for-a-cleaning#post-104054 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:16:36 +0000 volksgirl64 104054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it's pregnancy related, but right around Christmas I spent a LOT of time at the dentist getting a bridge put in. I'm only 32!</p> <p>I had a crown fall off because the tooth underneath broke, then they had to do oral surgery to remove what was left of the tooth, then prepare 3 teeth for the bridge/crown and then give me the permanent one. And I still never got my teeth cleaned! Oh yeah, and because I was pregnant, I couldn't be sedated for any of it. Luckily it wasn't too bad.</p> <p>I'll try to go over the summer but I want to make sure I didn't use up all our Insurance money with the work I had done already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-went-to-the-dentist-for-a-cleaning#post-104012 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:01:03 +0000 banana 104012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going next month.
