A based one for once. Note it’s kind of old and the US would be worse by now.

    I did OMAD and a keto diet for almost a year. Brushed twice a day, flossed at night all of it. My dentist barely had to clean my teeth. It was the fastest I had ever been in and out of the dentist office. lol. Sugar a frequency of eating are the primary factors.

        Have you never gone to the dentist? That’s most of what they do, floss, scrape away the Tartar, and add fluoride.

        In all the countries I have lived in the cleaning is part of the inspection, and then they schedule a followup secondary visit if something needs more work done. The dentist doesn’t do most of the work unless it’s something more involved.

          Maybe, I have zero clue about dentistry. When I go to the dentist they take the radiography, then feel around with a sharp stick, and that’s done in like 10 minutes.

            Usually in the “feel around with the sharp stick” stage, they will scrap off plaque and buildup as well.

            I mean, it is also just possible you have impeccable dental hygiene and they don’t have to do a whole lot. I hate sweets, which has the added benefit of generally keeping my teeth in good condition (minus staining from my coffee habit); my cleanings are pretty fast as well.
