Topic:Do you go to the dentist often?

Hi guys. This is Luis from Spain and this is for elllo.org. Today's question is do you visit the dentist often?

Unfortunately, I've been a regular visitor to the dentist as long as I can remember. I've had bad teeth since I was born and I strongly believe, this is explained through genetics. I mean, I think we inherit our parents' virtues and defect of any kind. I can see pretty well without needing glasses, and curiously enough, my mother has an excellent eyesight.

On the contrary, my father has bad teeth since early age; the quality of mine is also questionable. Since I was a kid, I had to visit the dentist way more than I have ever wished. I remember panicking at the thought of going to the dentist. And to try to skip the visit, I used to suffer pain in silence until I couldn't bear it anymore.

Moreover, I even remember grabbing the street lamps and my mother struggling to pull me off from there. And it was a total scary experience. And one thing is true and this is a message for the kids. Nowadays, dentists are not as they used to. They use now much better tools and medicines than before.

So do not worry, you're not going to suffer anyway. Go to the dentist and care about your teeth.
