Well, to be fair, not everyone "correctly" brushes their teeth. The little details are often missed (e.g., not putting excessive pressure on teeth, circular motion, flossing after brushing, using mouthwash, etc.). It's also important to know that even dentists have bad teeth sometimes. :( In any case, props to OP for having the patience to teach him.

Exactly! I had a dental appointment a few months ago, and I learned a few minor brushing/flossing techniques that really make a difference. I think learning new techniques, even in your twenties, is normal, but it sounds like OP's case might have been more extreme.

I had to do the same thing with my boyfriend when he was 18. He never really brushed his teeth and I then found out that he didn't know how. And when he did he thought ur gums were suppose to bleed. He's doing much better now.

It's actually pretty normal for people to not know how to "correctly" brush their teeth. It happens all the time.

Today, my 15 year-old son told me he had his first kiss. I told him how I was the same age when I had mine, and then I told him all kinds of wild stories about things I did in my childhood and college life. Truth is, I made them all up. I didn't get kissed till I was 24, and laid till I was 28. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

Today, our dog became ill. My mom wasted no time attending her every needs and became very distressed. When I had appendicitis a few months ago, my mom told me to “sleep it off” and a friend had to take me to the hospital. She only called once to bitch at me for “doing this on purpose to make her feel bad.” FML

Today, a customer brought her kids into the store where I work. I like to make people laugh, so being my usual joking self I kidded, "Why aren't those kids in school?" She didn't laugh when she said that their house burned down the night before and the kids had no clothes to wear to school. FML

Today, I was giving my crush a lift home from a mutual friend's house. When he got in the car, my mom asked in French, "Is this the guy you won't stop talking about? You can do so much better!" Of all the things I've told about him to my mom, I forgot to mention he's French as well. FML

Today, my girlfriend got her wisdom teeth removed. I really want to help her out while she recovers, but her swollen cheeks combined with her natural buck teeth keep making me crack up every time I see her. I can't help it and I'm now in the doghouse. FML

Today, my mom and I staged an intervention for my alcoholic dad. Within minutes he'd turned everything around on us, claiming we're in no position to judge him for drinking since we use "too much water" when we shower. Apparently that's on the same level as being an abusive alcoholic. FML
