Going to the dentist for the for the first time in 15 years tomorrow...

[Smoke117]

I'm really not looking forward to it. I'm 30 and I can't remember the last time I've been to the dentist, but I had to be somewhere around 15 years old. I'm having pain problems and my wisdom teeth are scraping and cutting the inside of my mouth...so I decided I have to just bite the bullet and go. Anyone else not been to the dentist in years?

[JohnFreeman]

I haven't been in 5 years

[Le Shaqtus]

Prepare your anus.

And your mouth obviously...

[Patrick Chewing]

It's probably been 20 for me. Luckily for me, my wisdom teeth grew straight up.


Good luck.

[JohnFreeman]

I have good teeth. eye test though

[DaSeba5]

I haven't gone in 2 years. But my teeth aren't in bad shape or anything. I'm also never going to grow wisdom teeth so I have nothing to worry about atm.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Two wisdom teeth are growing in and they don't hurt. Also no one in my family had to get their wisdom teeth removed so hopefully I don't either . One of my friends had 4 of hers taken out in one day. I felt bad for her

[J Shuttlesworth]

15 years? Do you floss? Your breath might be horrible

NBAplayoffs - I got mine out all at the same time, everyone I know had them all at the same time. Wasn't too bad. I'd get checked even if they don't need to come out, I know people who had no pain so left it and it still ****ed up their front teeth.


I haven't been in about 5 or 6 years now, I know I have some holes in my back teeth though so need to go soon.

I haven't been to the dentist in three years removed 2 wisdom teeth planning on removing the other two.

[PHX_Phan]

Only been to the dentist three times in my life. All my teeth grew in straight and I don't recall much pain.

Went about a year ago because I chipped my tooth and figured it had been long enough since my last visit (probably when I was 18) and had no problems.

Maybe I'm just really lucky. I brush regularly and maintain good oral hygiene, so never saw a reason to make more frequent visits.

[BigBoss]

Your going to get an x-ray done. And you should DEFIANTLY get a cleaning if the hygienist is in. Wisdom teeth can lead to painful infections.

It's actually pretty common for people to not visit the dentist, but take care of your teeth oral pain is the worst.

[fsvr54]

Haven't been in 7 years.

My teeth are fine except for some crooked ones in the back, I see no need to go. I keep them clean, brush regularly and floss.

[shaq2000]

Damn, and I'm nervous about not having gone in a year and a half. You guys go a long time without routine cleanings.

They most likely will find calculus, they will use this
