Being from a poor family, going to the dentist was a priviledge (and I looked at it as such, when I started agoing, around 13 or so). I had obviously crooked upper front teeth, but good genes prevented me from getting cavities until I got braces for myself at age 24.
I love my dentist and my dental office. I go as often as my ins. pays for it, every 6 months for cleanings and x-rays.
I think dentists can be zealous about oral health and hygenie, and I'm certain they are often subjected to folks who don't take care of themselves, which eventually leads to major and painful dental work, for which they blame...the dentist.
