Yep. My dad was adamant on taking me to the dentist every six months for cleaning and I had a couple fillings when I was a child, but nothing more major than that. I'm actually glad that my dad made me go, I take pride in my nice smile. : )

my mom took me to the dentist at least once a year when i was little. now im 16 and i make sure my teeth are as clean possible. i force my mom to make dentist appointments every 6 months so i can get them clean. i havent had a cavity since i was 12.

I'm not a teenager, but I did not have dental care at all as a child, and i can tell you that good teeth is hereditary…I'm 48 years old and I have all my teeth…now I go to the dentist every 6 months ….my son also has a good teeth, he is 28

I have had dental twice a year since i was 6, im 19.

I'm not a teenager anymore, but not too long ago i was, and yes i had proper dental care because my parent's didn't give me the choice of screwing it up

Perfect care. My dad was my dentist, though.

I had great dental care as a child, thanks to my parents ensuring we brushed our teeth and to the National Health Service. I live in the UK where dental treatment for under sixteens is free and, until I was fourteen, kids had dental check-ups every three months (thanks to the useless Tories, this was changed to every six months) with polishing and scaling. I'm was only one of few kids in my primary class who didn't have any fillings and now aged 25, I still don't have any fillings. I did have teeth that were all over the place, which were fixed with orthadontic care that was also provided free of charge.
