Today, my boyfriend told me he hasn't been to the dentist in two years and definitely doesn't plan on it because, "That's just how the government steals more money." FML

Today, I went to the dentist after not being there for 3 years. I was told that I had loads of cavities and that I would need to pay $3,000 for a serious mouth surgery. The reason I hadn't been to the dentist in 3 years: I've been married to a dentist for 3 years that said my teeth were "perfect." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he thinks brushing his teeth and doing anything basically hygienic is unnecessary now, because, "we're all going to die out around about 2050 anyway." FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he stopped brushing his teeth two days after we started dating. Tomorrow is our 2 year anniversary. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend thinks brushing his teeth is unnecessary, because, "the world is going to end because of climate change anyway." FML
Today, my date told me that he, his parents, and grandparents, believe that all doctors, but especially dentists, are nothing but drug-pushing crooks, and therefore completely unnecessary. Oh and the fact that they’ve all lost their teeth is “genetic” and has nothing to do with their hygiene. FML
Today, I saw my boyfriend spitting the mouthwash back into the bottle, because, "this stuff is really expensive." FML
Today, my boyfriend thinks he's discovered a big conspiracy by dentists to sell toothpaste. He's arguing that nobody needs to brush their teeth, ever, because all the "new plaque" from food will dissolve the "old plaque", and the only thing he needs to use is breath spray. FML
Today, I went to my new dentist and before he started looking at my teeth, I told him my previous dentist had never found a single thing wrong with my teeth. After looking around, he chuckled humourlessly and called my last dentist idiotic. I now have a $580 bill and a root canal next week. FML
Today, my dentist called and told me that the surgery to remove my wisdom teeth - which I desperately need and saved for a year to be able to afford - will actually cost nearly $2000 more than originally stated. The surgery is supposed to be in three days. FML
Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML

If he still takes care of his teeth I don't see why it matters.

He still brushes his teeth right? he doesn't use breath mints to cover his breath for 6 months?

That's not that bad. It's not like he hasn't brushed his teeth in said time, which, I gather, he has seeing as you didn't notice until now.

I didn't see a dentist for 11 years. Honestly, as long as you take care of your teeth. There is no reason to go in constantly. I needed very little done when I actually did go in. Just my wisdom's pulled. I do not understand why people think this is disgusting.

As long as he brushes & flosses , I dont see the problem.

That's not how the government steals more money, It's how the dentist steals more money. There's no need to go if he takes care of his teeth and doesn't have any problems.

You sound like someone who has been fortunate to be on a parent's dental insurance. A majority of people do not have dental insurance these days.

That's true, Brush at least once a day, with toothpaste and then hot water, then floss and you're good to go

Hot water? American Dental Association guidelines make no reference to water temp. It's a matter of preference.

I wonder what kind of teeth the people here have who thinks it's disgusting to not have been to the dentist. Must be quite icky if they need to visit dentists that often to maintain good mouth hygiene. I haven't been to the dentist for.. Almost five years or something, and I still don't need to. But then again, I'm able to brush my teeth and stuff like that.

I go twice a year for dental cleanings because its covered on my dental insurance. Plus fluoride treatments. If I am paying for the insurance, I am gonna use it.
