How long ago was your last dental appointment?

[bigbeautifulmonster]

Me: about 2-3 years 🙈
Need to make that phone call!

I go every 6 months and hygienist every 3 months.

Every six months when it should be a year. Driving me up the wall but at least we are being seen by the nhs.

I have one booked for monday! But at least three years since the last one. Am fortunate that I have good teeth, just luck I think.

This thread prompted me to call and book a check up… last seen July 2021, so I’m just within their 18 months window before being struck off. Made an appointment… for 31st january 2023. Wonderful.

Just before lockdown hit in 2020.

i havent been for over four years as theres simply no one taking patients on either private or nhs in the town or surrounding area. my teeth are wrecked but if i cant get registered anywhere theres nothing i can do

August. I generally go for a check up once a year and rarely need anything done.

Today actually! The time before that, 6 months ago - and the time before that 13 years 😂 I hadn’t been since my teens, but my teeth were fine.

4 years.

Few weeks ago, cracked a tooth on a frozen chocate bar that had been stored incorrectly during the heatwave!

Supermarket paid for my filling and xray though (I didnt ask them to. they just offered & sent the cheque!) 😊

2007

I spent years getting over a severe dental phobia and had let the dentist remove the remains of 3 teeth I'd let die in my mouth since 1994. I'd lived through the pain of it and was doing good.

Then my dentist moved hundreds of miles away, I saw the new one once and he lectured me about not going in the past. Was very sanctimonious and basically I've never been back. I'm very very good at dental hygiene, brushing, flossing, mouthwash etc as I plan to never go back.

June and my next appointment is June next year. I've only ever gone more than a year or so at uni.

Yesterday,clear round. Blimey hygienist every 3 months,they are expensive. Was recommended every 2 years to me.

Today! Feel good to have been. Do it

A month ago. Had a filling.

Yesterday.

5 days ago

April. Due to go week after next again

7 years ago when I last had it free after a baby. Need to book and get them all sorted before my free dental runs out with this one but can’t get an appointment

Last month. And six months before that, and six months before that.

nannybeach I'm on a dental plan...pay £22 a month. Worth every penny...I'm early 60s and had some gum disease. Now under control.
I have good teeth and don't want to lose any!

Auntie,ah right. I went private for some years,as I had clear round for years, never needed any work and we moved. Traumatic experience with absolutely awful hygienist, found recommend NHS dentist,she even saw me during lockdown. My DD had a plan with the kids,I assumed it covered everything,it didn't, thankfully they are now registered with mine.

Last week.
I've spent the last 2 years reversing my gum disease after not going for about 3 years.
I've also had lots of work done as my teeth weren't in great shape at all.
I've had-
A wisdom tooth out
2 fillings
A root canal
A crown
Numerous scale and polished

I'm absolutely buzzing as I got told last week my mouth is healthy with no concerns at all!

I was there Tuesday. Go every 6 months. Except during 2020 covid-ness when I had a 9 month gap!

Two years ago and only because it was a dental emergency - I had an abscessed tooth. My last arranged appointments/check ups were fairly regular and were before covid. Since covid it's impossible to get an appointment with my local dentist. I had to travel an hour for a private dental appointment.
