probably 10 years ago. I didn't care to go to one after the dentist literally stood on the chair and pulled my tooth ( this happened in India. where else). paid him ~$10 I think.
About once every 10 years. No issues with my teeth at all.
The problem as explained to me by my dentist is gum health, not teeth health. Periodic descaling of plaque is what should be addressed. Gums degrade over the decades, not years.
Twice a year for me. In fact, just had a cleaning this morning by the hygienist and then the dentist takes a look. Didn't find any cavities. X-rays are done once a year.

exactly. the gums also need to be brushed (flossing too!) as well and neglecting that is just as bad as the teeth. you would be surprised in just six months what accumulates on the teeth/gums (from eating and drinking various things) when you get a good/thorough cleaning...
A bad dentist is like a bad painter - they can make you suffer big time/long time if their work isn't top notch. Not too happy with the dentist I have now - makes it hard to go.
