I hadn't been to one is 7 or so years until last year. The reason was because the dentist I'd been to prior to that was a horrid bitch. She and her assistant just watched CMT while applying that resin stuff to fill in a cavity. Well, the retards botched it and for a couple years after that my bite didn't quite meet as it should.
Anyway, when I went finally went back I was sure they were going to tell me I had some cavities or worse. But nope! No problems what-so-ever. I'm going back for a cleaning on Friday too.
