Are teeth implants painful?

I think twice a year for a checkup is excessive if you take care of your teeth. Of all the times I've been to the dentist, I'd say it was only really necessary twice. I didn't go at all from about age 5 to 20, didn't seem to matter. I have full blown phobia though, so do my best to avoid having to go.

I go to check up every 6 months, and they check for more than your teeth. They also check your lymph nodes, look for signs for gum disease and also keep on top of the plaque.

Used them about 3 years ago no luck. :(

Its my gums not my teeth, I have tried everything but nothing works. Full dentures for me very soon that's for sure.

You are meant to use them when the gums are still healthy, before they start to recede. And don't brush in an constant up and down manner. Once the gums starts to recede, they don't go back.
