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

        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 ;-)

      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.
