I am an 18 year old female. I know that you are supposed to go to the dentist, the eye doctor, and the ob-gyn, but are there others? And how often are you supposed to go to all of them? Thank you!!!

Sometimes it is a good idea to go to a family doctor instead of a specialist that does only ob/gyn stuff. Find one that will do the yearly pap stuff at the same time - then you can go one time a year and get a whole physical done. This is handy to establish a relationship with the office and doc so that you have someone to go to if you get mono or strep or even an injury (in my case a bad case of poison ivy). Seek the advice of a specialist if you have special health care needs - otherwise stick with the family practice doc. They are also MUCH cheaper :)
