    It’s not that hard to floss and brush your own teeth mate, why do you need to get it done by a dentist every 4 months

        tartar also builds up just under the gums too, which is plaque that hardens. cant really brush below it, and flossing wont touch tartar.

        Not enough to pay $170 out of pocket for, whatever my insurance covers is enough, the rest of the time I’ve got a water floos and regular flossing and cleaning to get the job done

          That sounds great for you. I switched to 3/year last year after trying everything else to reduce the amount of plaque developing between visits without success. I don’t get why you feel the need to shit on someone for that
