    They always point out that I have really sharp teeth naturally. Does that count?

    Not really creepily, but they do tell me every time that I have 'perfect' teeth.

    Just like hairdressers who ALWAYS say that my hair is really thick.

    I always slack on my flossing. I am trying to be better about it.

    My dentist calls in all the other hygienists to come see my teeth. And she only lets me schedule appointments once a year, not twice a year. I don't find it creepy though.

    It's not the compliment that bothers me.... it's the fact that he's sitting on my lap during the exam that seems a little odd. :ohwell:

    Depends... is he creepy BECAUSE he points it out, or is does he point it out in a creepy way? lol I always take it as a compliment. You got to remember how many freak-nasty mouths they prob see!

    Not creepily but it does get pointed out. Feels good considering how much money I had to spend

    awe that cant be true...just a random question how does that work in the UK does NHS provide dental care, do you have to purchase your own, or is there dental insurance?

    And OP thanks for reminding me to schedule a dentist appointment.

    At my last visit my dentist said, "It's always so pretty in here" while looking in my mouth. Which was odd. But I looked and it IS pretty in there.

    NHS provides full free treatment for the unemployed.

    Folk who work pay based on a banding charge - so there's a set "top wack" fee for various treatments. (The NHS subsidises the rest of the costs.

    •Band 1 course of treatment – £18.00
    This covers an examination, diagnosis (including X-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if needed, and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant.
    •Band 2 course of treatment – £49.00
    This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or removal of teeth.
    •Band 3 course of treatment – £214.00
    This covers everything listed in Bands 1 and 2 above, plus crowns, dentures and bridges.

    Kids/students free treatments.
    Cosmetic dentistry is only free for under 19's in full time education.
    There are dental payment plans, but they only cover X amount.
    Loads of private practices though as obviously that's where the dentists make their cash.

    Everyone says I have nice teeth. My dentist always comments and I'm cool with it, since its his job to know teeth. When I'm at the supermarket and someone says something is when I get creeped out!
