How long is the wait for a dentist appointment lately?

In my experience, I’m consistently looking at a minimum of three weeks—and frankly, it often stretches much longer than that—so I find myself wondering if this is an anomaly, a standard baseline, or perhaps even a bit better than the average. What does the typical wait time look like for the rest of you?

Usually, I’ll wait about two weeks before heading in for a routine checkup—though, if things actually start hurting, I’m there immediately, whether it’s during my shift or the very next day.
