When I was younger, I used to go often. But I don't have insurance, and so I don't go very often. Harp: When was the last time you went to the dentist, Maura? Maura: The last time I went to the dentist, I think, was about a year and a half ago. Harp: OK. Not too bad then. Maura: No, it's not so bad. But I think there was a period where I didn't go for about 5 years. Harp: Yeah, because if you don't have insurance, it's very expensive to go to the dentist in Canada.
