Before I went to my dentist, it had been 28 years since my previous appt (18>46). I had 1 new cavity, and they replaced 2 old fillings. It was just a regular cleaning, not one of the heavy duty ones. They told me that I'm lucky that I've got good chemistry so I don't build up plaque.

4-5, expect a lecture about flossing.  |
Agreed. At least, at my dentist, it's the gum gap or something and smaller numbers are better.
