As a kid, I didn’t really like going to see the dentist because it usually meant that there was a problem. Now that I go and visit my dentist twice a year (and I have much better hygiene habits) it is usually a very stress-free experience. Sometimes I wonder if going every six months is necessary, but I like how you said that dentists can spot many things that I cannot on my own. Thanks for explaining some of these benefits.
