I’ve only been to the dentist twice in my life

I’m 31 years old. I’ve only been to the dentist twice in my life, once as a child for a cleaning and once as a teenager to check on my wisdom teeth which were impacted (but I decided to keep them anyway).

I’ve been lucky enough to have never had a cavity even though I don’t take especially good care of my teeth. I typically brush when I feel like it, which might be once every two or three days, sometimes longer if I’m feeling lazy. I floss maybe a few times a year. So basically I’m your typical oral hygiene slacker, but it’s not like I completely ignore my teeth either.

A question I have for older users is does this sort of behavior catch up with you eventually? Or are oral health problems more of the type of thing where if you don’t start having them when you’re young, you’ve probably got durable enough teeth that you’re home free?
