    Going to a dentist a couple times a year is enough. Nobody needs daily dental surveillance.

    This is the type of thing that gives people a false sense of doing something. We know what we need for good oral health: brush and floss, avoid sugars.

      For young people this is probably true, but when you get older gum health and related problems quickly gets into the top 5 of health concerns.

      I also know loads of young people who don’t go to the dentist twice a year, but I guess that’s another story.
