I used to go and see a dentist at least once a year but my dentist ended up going private and not working for the NHS anymore and I never managed to get on with another dentist as all were full with no spaces for NHS patients. I haven't had any major issues with my teeth though and my dental hygiene is pretty good. I know if I have any serious issues I can use the emergency dentist but I haven't needed to do that in a long time.
