I'm afraid of the dentist.

Dentistry always seems scary. Since I was young, I ate a lot of Yakult, so I went to the dentist often, but I was always scared. I still think I should get regular checkups, but I tend not to go until I feel pain. That's why it costs a lot of money, takes a lot of time, and ends up being more painful. Do you all go to the dentist regularly for checkups? During national health checkups, there is also a dental exam, but I think I tend to skip it. I wish I wouldn't get cavities if I just brushed my teeth well.
