When's the last time you've had your teeth cleaned by a dentist?

two weeks ago

When I could last get an appointment, which was in February. I phoned up in July as six months had passed and I wanted a check up and they told me the next available appt was in January! So that's when I'll be getting it done next, I would imagine.

today

I can't remember, it's been a few years. I floss, and brush every day. I've been told, I have nice teeth...At my age I must be doing something right. Not long ago, a crown fell out in the back, they filled up the existing tooth, and asked if I wanted a bridge, I said yes if I must. No other problems. I will shortly go and have a cleaning at the dentist's office.

In October. I love the feeling of cleanliness in my mouth after. Of course, I usually grab a large coffee right after and ruin that wonderful feeling, but WTF, I love coffee.

I'm not sure I ever have. Maybe when I was a child. It's usually an oral hygienist who does the cleaning.

About 9 months ago. I need to get back in there for other stuff too.

Many many years ago and I never see a dentist because I cannot afford it on my fixed income and insurance will not pay for this

Less than a year. I was due two months ago, but they had to cancel my appointment (?) and I haven't called them back yet. I will, I still like this guy.

I answered assuming "dentist" includes dental hygienist.

Less than 9.... I just got the little card in the mail a few months ago.

More than a year ago. But I have this awesome electric toothbrush that gets so much plaque! Also, I floss every night.

Oh yeah, what health care plan?

Four months ago I think...that was when I actually got them cleaned...(and almost died..)
My next appointment is in February..ick..so cold and nasty..and I wont get to miss school.

About six months ago. It's about time to go again. I usually try and go twice a year.

I'd try and find a not so busy dentist. There is more than one dentist around you, right?

about 4 months ago

oh crum...it was a dental hygenist, not the dentist. does that count?

Longer ago than it should have been. Probably last time that I saw a dentist, which must have been February at the latest. I think it's just less than a year ago, definitely more than 9 months.

If you ditch your dentist in the UK, chances are you'll never find another one ever again. I moved to a new city, have probably now been removed from the books of my dentist in my home town, and can't find a dentist who will take me on in my new city. I'm just hoping that I have better luck when I move again to go to university.

Wow, Why is that?

There aren't many National Health Service dentists around - most of them went private because they can make more money that way - but that makes them too expensive for a lot of people to actually use.

less than 3 months ago and i go every 6 months.

It was some time in October, I think.

Less than two months ago, as I had to have a crown as well

Probably around 6 or 7 years ago.

Ok, I see now. Yeah, there is probably a big difference in price.

There is virtually no chance of getting another dentist. There's a shortage of dentists all over the UK, I'm lucky to have one at all. When a new dentist surgery opens, its usually in the newspaper, it's that big news lol.

More than a year ago...

Wow! I can find one anytime for cleaning, but if I needed more done I would use my regular dentist. I usually can get in within a week of calling.

I've had dentures since 2001. I don't need a dentist to clean my teeth.

Never had them cleaned... I do that myself.

I think it's been about 3 or 4 years.

Lol, you're lucky. My dentist have had to restrict check ups to one per person per year.

I guess that is ok if you are taking care of your teeth. Once a year is really all you need. I think. Of course I go twice a year.

Never.

a year ago and it hurt so bad i almost knocked the dog out.

Dental hygienists are sadists.

Less than a month ago. My teeth aren't great, I'm often at the dentist.

About 2 months ago.

Feb, 02,07. It was a traumatic dental visit.
