I never went to the dentist when I was a kid, first time was at 20. I have no cavities and great gums. The dentist said it all depends on the bacteria in your mouth whether or not you will have cavities.

Yes. She had neglected her teeth for so long that her gums receded & with the deep cleaning, well, she bled a lot. She's got dentures now..which is sad because she's only 57. Anyway. I'm sure that Fuzzy's teeth are nowhere near the condition my mom's were in.
I never went to the dentist as a kid but I go every year now. My dentist said my teeth are lovely. She's very expressive though.
My first visit I was about 8 and I had 12 cavities! I have that kind of mouth! That is why I go so regular and brush and floss like a fiend! I still get em though!
Not nearly as bad as I thought is was going to be. I will tell you though, between that and the work he had to do on my two teeth, it kept me awake Friday night. I maybe had four hours sleep. Of course, I still need to have the other side of my mouth done.
