I was at the dentist yesterday and got a bit of a lecture about needing to see a periodontist regularly. Honestly, I've always been kinda lazy about it—just figured brushing and flossing was enough, you know? But now I'm second-guessing myself. Curious how often everyone else here actually goes for periodontal visits... is it really that big of a deal or just dentists being overly cautious?

I used to think exactly the same way until my dentist scared me straight with horror stories about gum disease. Now I go every 6 months religiously. Honestly, it's a bit of a hassle, but I'd rather deal with the inconvenience than risk losing teeth down the line... trust me, dental anxiety is real, but prevention beats treatment any day.
