Yes. Dentists recommend every six months because tooth enamel can be damaged from over-zealous cleaning with dental instruments. And never scratch the itch you might get to buy your own dental pick from the drug store to use between cleanings. My dentist tells me that those things cause more harm than good. And more broken and chipped teeth as well, because the average joe isn't trained in their proper use.
So, see your dentist twice a year, brush, floss and rinse. That's all you need unless you have some severe medical/dental problem that requires constant attention.

Goodness.. why??
I used to go 4 x a year, now twice a year since I'm paying out of pocket. Got myself one of those Oral B electric brushes and that does the trick just fine.

Yes. Your Dentist must not care about you at all. Just money.

it's not too much, but ugh...don't you get tired of getting repeatedly poked in the gums by the dental hygenist with the palsy in her right hand?
or is that just me...?
