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?

Does he brush twice daily? If so, I see nothing wrong with this. I'm in Florida (state in last for dental care), so I only go to the dentist when I think I have an issue because dental insurance is rarely, if ever, offered here, and outrageously expensive. I also know tons of people that have never been to the dentist yet have beautiful teeth because they have good oral hygiene habits. Twice a year visits are excessive and unnecessary with proper care.

Well… if you hadn't noticed bad breath or something, his hygiene can't be that bad.

What I wanna know is why so many people are assuming that just because OP's boyfriend doesn't go to the dentist, he also doesn't brush his teeth. Are you guys expecting the dentist to do it for him? Honestly, I've never been to the dentist (that I remember) and I brush my teeth every day. No problems on my part.

At least he has brushed in the past 6 months... As long as he brushes and flosses it could be worse op

Brush my teeth religiously, and only been to the dentist once in the last three years. She told me my teeth are healthier than most of her frequent patients. Op is just being picky. If his teeth are brown then that's a different story

Wow, I'm amazed by the comments on here, being a dentist I can't tell you how many patients have come in saying "I haven't been to a dentist in years and everything is fine" and after a check up they can see the reality of losing many of their teeth as they're broken beyond repair. The damage doesn't have to be obvious with symptoms or a massive cavity, but it's better to go, get them checked to make sure little things don't develop into something that there's no way back from.

Or like how dentists recommend products that are good for our teeth/mouth. Yet the make money off of bad teeth.

So many people concerned with the cleanliness of his teeth, far more concerning is the completely crazy delusion that the government is collecting massive amounts of money via dental offices.

Honestly if he still has good oral hygiene who cares about his dentist views
