Medicine: See Your Dentist

Most U.S. dentists would like everybody to get his teeth inspected every six months. Last week a Gallup poll indicated that 45 million of the 96 million men & women over 21 in the U.S. have not seen a dentist in the last two years. Of these, some 30 million have been avoiding the dentist’s chair for more than four years and about four million have never even been to a dentist.
