    I’m with you on this. Routine visits are always booked 6+ months in advance and I’d totally lose track if I didn’t keep a calendar for my life lol

      You really should go every 4 months though. 6 is just what insurance is willing to cover.

        No? Get the sonic toothbrush and actually floss. Beyond that, just get some dental picks on Amazon for like $15. The checkup is just extra.

          I do and I do. I’d rather have a professional clean my teeth with picks. And it only cost like $25 and takes 30 min. And it’s not covered since it’s a 3rd cleaning.

          I can honestly say that I’ve never known a dentist nor hygienist to work more than 4 days per week. Therefore, I assume you’re pulling my leg! /s (I really have never known a dental pro that works more than 4 days per week though.)

            The smart ones work 4 days a week! I work as an assistant in a larger practice with a few docs, so there’s always a doc in the house ;-)
