Is that true that if you go more often to dentist then your teeth may become weaken?
Question:
i'm too afraid to go to dentist because i have very good teeth.
Answers:
I don't know about that, but I went to a dentist and got the Zoom treatment for whitening my teeth (at the insistence of my ex-boyfriend,) and six months later, some enamel came off of the back of one of my front teeth. Supposedly, all those tooth whitening products are safe but I am not so sure. I never had any problems with my teeth - no broken ones, or root canals or anything before getting them whitened.
At any rate, it is probably better to go to the dentist as recommended rather than never go at all since besides cleaning your teeth, they check for oral cancers and infections and stuff that you might not realize you have.
I can't really talk though because I hate going to the dentist so I haven't gone to get my tooth fixed yet - I just don't bite down on any food on that side.

Ok, if it is true, then what would be the purpose of a dentist, whose job is to care for your oral hygiene?
No your teeth will not become "weaken". The dentist will clean them, and then you will swish flouride. That makes your teeth stronger.
Absolutely false.
What may sometimes happen is the exact reason why you should not avoid the dentist.
If you do not clean your teeth properly, over time plaque and then tartar will form. The bacterial toxins in the plaque and tartar will cause your gums to swell (gingivitis) and ultimately cause destruction of the gums and other supporting structures (Periodontal disease). When this happens, when you finally do get your teeth cleaned(but by this time a much more comprehensive and expensive procedure) your gums will shrink down as they move to a new healthier position. Since bone has been lost due to the destruction caused by the periodontal disease, gaps may result between your teeth.
Bottom line. Get your teeth cleaned before something really bad happens, and don't listen to ignorant people who think they know what they are talking about.

No! First of all if your dentist does not use a cavitron, find one that does. This is a water/laser cleaning tool they should use in between the gaps of your teeth, ita amazing. You should not get your teeth polished more than 4 times in 12 months. If you are worried about the color of your teeth get the Zoom treatment done by your dentist, this costs $300-400 but is well worth it. You want to be able to get a small brush in between each and every tooth on a daily basis, this is what makes not only your gums and teeth healthier but your heart will thank you. Use brushes, not floss to clean your mouth, and buy a sonic toothbrush by Philips, they are spendy but will last a longtime and there is nothing better.
When you get a coronal polish a minute (and I mean a very minute) amount of enamel is taken off, It isn't enough though to do any further damage to your tooth.
As for doing fillings, many doctors are only doing composites now instead of amalgam. Amalgam would contract in hot/cold temperatures causing stress on the tooth, and causing a space for recurrent decay. You really don't have to worry about this anymore though...
Not going to the dentist will cause more harm in the future then actually going to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months!
ABSOLUTELY NOT! That "gap" is created by NOT performing cleanings that remove the hard plaque which, if not removed, gives you periodontal disease, which leads to the gaps.
The tool they use is very safe. Most use ultrasonic plaque remover which is ultra safe.
Go to the dentist before you lose all your teeth!
My friend doesn't and I can see the gaps in her teeth with her advanced periodontal disease and resulting bone loss and bad breath.
No that is not true. You should go to the Dentist often, that way if you have any problems with your teeth they will be small and easily fixed.
