[quote=Anonymous]Part of the challenge is the ecosystem that has grown up around dentistry. Dental schools are big business for universities. Not to mention the dental tool / device industry. And then people involved in these related enterprises are invested in making dental health a big deal as part of human nature to want to make meaning in their work. And the result is more visits (when I was young routine care was once a year, now it’s twice with X-rays annually) where it seems like a new service is added pushed each time I go. I didn’t go to the dentist for 3 years but took very good care of my teeth at home. No issues when I had a cleaning this year. I have gone when I’ve had issues (crossing teeth corrected through Invisalign, sensitive patch on gum, weird bump that was a bone spur, etc) but I’m not at all convinced cleanings are needed for adults who take good care of their teeth at home.
