    What about the thousands (millions?) of others that didn't complete the survey? I'm guessing that 67% is nowhere near the real figure.

    I haven't been to the dentist for years. Last time I went, she fixed a chip in my tooth for free, which still puzzles me to this day...

    How can they not see a dentist though? I mean isn't that like compulsory in schools? All through my life it's always been compulsory in our schools to get cleaned by the school dentist like twice in a school year.. So does that mean they aren't forced to see the dentist in their schools?

    I visit the dentist twice every year...
    That's good enough and I have perfect teeth.

    And I think Indians should go, though.

    So now we know why Indian movies show the hero and heroine running around the trees and Hollywood movies show more explicit scenes. :p

    1. Generally, people here only visit dentists when they have a problem.

    Shocking survey! Even once in two years is still better, lol.. They need to be more knowledgable about the importance of going to dentist.
