The lunar meteor impact survey which only started in 2006 has recorded dozens of surface impact fireballs that we could see from 240,000 miles away.
But the satellite doesn't monitor the moon 24 hours a day.
So there are lots of impacts not seen because the satellite is not pointed at the moon or aren't bright enough to register as hits.
So I doubt it takes millions of years to turn over the dust.
