Last time I went to a dentist, I asked him if it was important to get ADA-approved toothpaste. He said, "No, it doesn't matter - I don't even use toothpaste! You have great teeth. You don't even need to see a dentist." I couldn't tell if he was crazy or the most honest dentist ever.

My dentist has repeatedly told me that my teeth are great and that there is no point in my going to see him. I continue to go once every two years because the cost is minimal, and it means that if I ever do need treatment then I can get it from him, on the NHS.
