I never used to go to the dentist every 6 months. I had a tooth extracted when I was about 5 years old and hated it and never went after that until I was about 9 years old!

I do go every 6 months now though. The last time I went in January, I had to have 3 root canals, a tooth extracted and a filling because I hadn't been for such a long time and I absolutely hated it!!!

I still hate the dentist now and dread going but figured it's better than having to go through lots of painful Dental work!!!!
