missbrz 0 #1 May 3, 2011 So I just made my first dentist appointment in probably at least 7 years. Yes I know its terrible & I should have regular check ups. But I hate the dentist. This has been my greatest display of procrastination to date. But, I'm wondering what's the longest somebody else has gone without an appointment?

JohnnyMarko 1 #2 May 3, 2011 Well, you may be older than me, but I'm 21 and I haven't gone since I was 17. Sure, some might consider that gross. I brush everyday, floss, watch the types of things I drink, etc. I get a lot of compliments on how white my teeth are and I have never whitened. I probably should go for at least a check up but I see the dentist as a waste of $ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missbrz 0 #3 May 3, 2011 I'm 22 & don't remember the last time I went. I know it was definitely way before i was 17 though.... I'm pretty much in the same boat as you with awesome white teeth except I think I might have finally gotten a cavity hence the dreaded dentist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davy 0 #5 May 3, 2011 not sure about the longest without a visit but I'm betting i have the most in a short amount of time...34 visits with 15 "procedures" in less than 90 days...Bad Monkey!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topdocker 0 #7 May 3, 2011 You don't even come close to holding the record in my office for "Time Between Visits." The greatest TBV we have is 45 years.... The patient had his last exam as he was discharged from the Navy at the conclusion of WWII and we saw him in 1992, nobody else. We manages to save what was left of his teeth... in a jar.Ask your new dentist for something to calm you down... Valium, gas, etc. "Better living through chemistry." top Jump more, post less!

JerseyShawn 0 #8 May 3, 2011 I go every 6 months because its free. Have a friend that didn't go for about 4 years and hardly brushed his teeth. He claimed to have "self cleaning" teeth and that beer helped them stay clean (these are the idiots i hang with). He went about 2 years ago and had 17 cavities. He now brushes.

skymama 35 #11 May 4, 2011 If you go more regularly like you're supposed to, the visits are really no big deal. If you floss every day, even better. I didn't used to floss very much when I was in my 20's which resulted in some of my gums receeding. As a result, now my teeth are very sensitive to cold liquids. I'm a fanatic about flossing every day now, my teeth feel gross if I don't!

oldwomanc6 38 #12 May 4, 2011 I didn't go from the time I was 15 til I was over 40 (scaredy-cat-me). Before you all say "gross", I was religious about brushing. When I screwed up enough courage to finally go, I figured I would be in the chair forever and get a full dressing-down. It amounted to about 5 minutes of poking/checking, 5 minutes of "scraping" and the polishing. The hygienist complemented me on being so concientious about keeping up with the cleanings. When I told her it had been over 25 yrs. she practically fainted. She told me most people had more build-up in six months than I did. Good genes, I guess! Good habits, too! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallinbear 0 #15 May 4, 2011 14 years and counting...I've been heavily procrastinating for the last 3 years though... I don't like them, either. I don't want to make all the decisions because if I screw up, then I can't blame it on you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herky 0 #19 May 5, 2011 Let's see, your 22, and it's been 7 years. Than means age 15 or so. Don't be surprised if they do x-rays and tell you that your wisdom teeth are going to have to come out. You are due for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never noticed before. I really hope it was not supposed to be something else, because the only thing I have ever seen is a dick under canopy. And, having previously clicked to further examine, I could read the text underneath and concluded, it was--in fact--a dick under canopy. I like it.
