Do you visit the dentist?

I only ask as it was revealed 4 in 10 children didn't visit the dentist last year.

weird, its free here as well (i think... for kids anways) yet people are not taking full advantage of it

I visit twice a year... although sometimes just once

That's mad. Didn't go for 10 years and my teeth are perfect. Getting xrays done on Tuesday to have a look at my wisdom teeth, and polish and clean because I love that.

Apparently my previous dentist didn't get rid if of the decay when they filled my teeth so all of them need replacing or worse. On the plus side I had no clue I had two wisdoms come through without knowing it I suppose.
after working hours yeah
once a year
Im sure dentist and orthodontist are similar but aren't the same? Am i right in saying this?
