Poll: Do you put off going to the dentist longer than you should?

A new report suggests that issues involving DIY dentistry in Ireland are on the rise.

A NEW REPORT from the Dental Complaints Resolution Service shows that complaints against Irish dentists are trending down.

The report also suggests, however, that issues involving DIY dentistry have jumped significantly.

Going to the dentist is rarely an especially pleasant experience, but would you put off a visit to the chair longer than you know is good for your teeth?

We’re asking: Do you put off going to the dentist longer than you should?


Poll Results:

Yes, it terrifies me (3492)
Yes, but only out of laziness (3310)
No, dental hygiene is too important (1447)
I keep forgetting to make an appointment (749)

    The council would be better off fixing the giant pothole in the road outside my house. God I am grumpy today.

    Things are slipping badly though. I went into a Tesco yesterday and there was nothing to wipe the trolly handles with. A staff member on customer service just stared when informed of the situation. Not the first shop I have come across with cleaning supplies empty.

    You know this thing of locking, cancelling, postponing etc…
    Don’t mention it and nobody will give a toss. If its spread around the media then the lower IQd people pick up on it and hold a protest.
