I wish dental visits were more like eye visits. I HAVE to get an eye exam every year if I want more contacts.
We should have to see the dentist every 6 months if we want tooth brushes and tooth paste. HAHA.
My last cleaning was July 2010. Yikes!

My mom is a dental hygenist and she always schedules my appts so I'm forced to go every 6 months.

Just last week actually. But before then it had been 8 months. In fact my dentist had had a new baby and I had no clue!

I just went last Saturday! Prior to that, it had been about 10 months... I've been a little delinquent the years I've had babies (Instead of every 6 months, I've done almost a year later). During pregnancy though, I go more often than the norm. With my first baby, I went every three months... with my second, every 6 months.

I think I went in November and they scheduled me to go again in June. I actually love going to the dentist. I've been going to him since I was really young and he's really good (especially since I hateee needles so fillings SUCK, but he is amazingly patient with me).

@chopsuey119: Going for the toothbrushes and toothpaste... that's a genius idea (for people like me)!
I didn't go for 1.5 years (pregnancy included)... ended up getting a shocking number of fillings when I finally went.

November. DH is big on dental hygiene, so he makes sure we go every six months.

I am due for one right now, but the idea of having someone digging around in my mouth makes me want to gag right now (even at 34 weeks pregnant I can barely brush my teeth without gagging up a storm.)

I went about 2 months after LO was born. I had major pregnancy related tooth problems the last few weeks of my pregnancy so I couldn't put it off. I had to have a root canal and crown. .
I am determined to stick with every 6 months from now on in!

Last appointment was in January and the next one is in April. I go every three months, alternating between my regular Dentist and the Periodontist.

September! I'm pretty good about going every 6 months. DH is another story......
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
My 6 month appt came and went in February. I don't want to go back until after the LO is born b/c I need a root canal and don't want it while I'm pregnant! Normally I go every 6 months, though.

I went in early January. I'm usually really good about going every six months, and will schedule my next appointment while I'm in there.

I try to go every six months. I don't always make it there that frequently but my MIL is an office manager for a dentist, so the hubs is really good about reminding me to schedule my appointments.

eesh way too long ago. I'm waiting til I stop gagging all the time to make an appointment - then I'm keeping myself and DH on a similar schedule to make us BOTH go!
he holds a grudge to me because last time I made him get a cleaning, he had 3 cavities. lol.

I usually go every 6 months, but that fell right in the mist of my M/S so I cancelled, and haven't resheduled. I need too though now that I think I can do it without getting sick.

I used to go frequently but then my dentist moved and I didnt like the new dentist there and stuff kept coming up and then I just stopped going

I HATE the dentist. But, I try and make myself go for my twice a year cleanings.

Wow! I go every 6 months. I just make an apt. when I'm there for 6 months later so I don't have to worry about it.

yesterday! the office calls me every 6 months to remind me it's time to set up an appointment which keeps me in there.

It's been since right before my wedding, so almost 2 years. I don't have great dental insurance or a dentist I like right now, so that has kept me away.

I go every six months now, especially since having been pregnant. My mom told me that a pregnancy costs a woman one tooth and I wanted to prevent that.

I'm going next month. I try to go every 6 months but it's more like every 8-9 months.

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!
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.
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.

I go as often as my insurance will allow. 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).
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!
