The Dentist

Do you go to the dentist on a regular basis? Most health insurance plans that have dental allow the insured to have 1 or 2 cleanings a year. If they offer 1, most dental offices know how to game the system and get 2 appointments in a year by scheduling them at least 6 months and 1 day apart.
Anyway, I go to the dentist, I even asked about going 3 times a year because I felt my teeth were too “dirty” but my hygienist gave me some tips and tools to clean better than just flossing and a regular toothbrush.
I know people who can easily afford to go that do not. I’ve been told “I’m scared” or “it hurts.” Is this the norm? Do most people not go to the dentist on a regular basis?
I also have no idea how many people in the US have dental insurance to begin with. I do know some people in really high places that do not take care of their teeth and sometimes it just baffles me.
