I know your supposed to get cleanings every 12 months, but for those who cannot afford to?

It's possible to lose teeth- anything could happen. The purpose of going to the dentist is so that they can get to any spots that you may have missed and also so that they can identify possible problems or diseases. In actuality, you are supposed to go to the dentist every 6 months, but, with soaring medical costs, it's getting harder and harder! If you cannot afford to, I would suggest you take your dental care into your own hands by taking the time to look at your mouth, teeth, and gums to check for any changes. But, make sure that you still go as close to every 6 months as possible!

The best way to keep your teeth healthy is to brush and floss them them after each meal and in case if it is not possible, brushing teeth before going to be at night is a must. If you care for your teeth, they will care for you because without them you can enjoy your food. Regular brushing and flossing will save you from frequent visiting a dental surgeon. It would be better to visit the dental surgeon on yearly basis so as to know the present status of your teeth and those who can not afford the expense, they can seek help from various dental hospitals offering free treatment. Try to save a little money each month separately for your dental treatment and it will help you to save you from real embarrassment and financial burden of visiting dental surgeon. The dental treatment is really very exorbitant and it is indeed very tough for the less fortunes to afford.

Yeah... its a sad thing but some people just have bad teeth... like myself!
I have fillings in every single one of them and I floss and brush the required amount! Its always been that way and its just something I inherited.
Smoking, drinking and eating sugary foods, blah blah... it all contributes! I also drank heaps of coca cola which I kind of swilled around my mouth... that has stripped my teeth of enamel.
If your teeth are healthy just try and look after them! Even if they aren't so great do all you can to try keep them in your mouth!!!!
