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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?

wtf that is a stupid reason to dump some one
xlord 27
In fact I haven't been to the dentist in about two years, however I don't smoke and brush my teeth twice daily plus gargling free meals. Plus I havent seen any signs of tooth decay etc.
Ambient25 25
You should have asked him to get some braces so he could act as an antenna for the Governments mind control device that affects all idiots...

I need to stop posting when I drink...

As long as he's brushing his teeth & his mouth doesn't look disgusting she shouldn't dump him.

do you wanna kiss someone that has never been to the dentist?
Mauskau 36
My bf has never been to the dentist and his teeth are fine. As long as you look after your teeth you don't really need a dentist.
TheDrifter 24
Dentists are like surgeons, if there's nothing wrong, there's no reason to go. As long as the guy takes care of his teeth he's fine.
RedPillSucks 33
Actually, just because you brush doesn't mean you wont have decay. Lots of times you wont even notice until it gets really bad, so I feel that this is a bad reason not to go to the dentist regularly.

I don't see how this is disgusting. In Australia it's recommended we see the dentist only every two years, it would just be a waste of money otherwise. I don't know any statistics but I'd say we have fine teeth. I personally have never had any fillings or anything. As long as you look after your teeth, what's the problem?
Faff 20
i thought the FMLpart was his stupidity, not him not going to the dentist.

68 is right. I didn't go to the dentist for 10 years because my parents never took me. I finally went on my own at 19 because I heard dental problems can affect your brain and the x-rays showed 7 cavities. I brushed my teeth twice a day, and never felt any pain or anything in my teeth. I wasn't flossing very often though, so that might have had something to do with it.

That's right and they also check for other things like oral cancers

Are you from Kentucky? ...And is he your cousin?

#2: it's West Virginia, you idiot. are you blonde?
Rozza17 29
#40: By the looks of their profile picture. Yes.
DaDezza244 31
I'm sorry #2, why the hell did you ask OP if he was her cousin when the FML clearly stated 'boyfriend'?
TheDrifter 24
It's a Yankee slur against southerners, suggesting that they date and procreate with their direct relatives.
Faff 20
however, we all know it's not only the southerners that do that.
buckeyed 20
yeah, so do the lannisters

Why are there so many unsolved murders in Kentucky?.... There are no dental records and everybody has the same DNA... Comment is based off a joke... Calm yourselves people...
edmunson 22
I got it, and its the truest and funniest I have read all night!!! LMFAO!!
EmberEyes 16
It's an extremely rude joke, 107. Like Jesus Christ, that's just so uncalled for.
Faff 20
wow where's your sense of humor?
triplebeerox 27
That's really disgusting. Tell him to freaking brush his teeth!
triplebeerox 27
Ooops. Sorry, should've reread my comment before posting.

BjgUsername 12
Wow op, looks like you caught yourself a real brainiac
JillianBall 18
Ew.. Just tell him you won't kiss him until he brushes his teeth
JillianBall 18
Wow, I read that wrong. I meant until he goes to the dentist, not brush his teeth
Welshite 40
A person usually to the dentist every six months. So you are saying that OP gets to kiss her boyfriend only twice a year?
FRB 8
What if he dumps her for that

Well, regardless of how great you take care of your teeth, cavities can still form between the teeth, or erosion can start to appear. That's why visiting the dentist regularly is a good idea; prevention is better than cure.

It's true! Don't doubt him! The Government is just a front, DENTIST OFFICES are where the REAL Governing happens! Don't be fooled by blankets of lies!

We all know they implant mind control devices and gps locators when filling cavities...

although I loveeee you guys sarcasm...its a very high posibility..at least about the tracking devices.

As long as he brushes his teeth and takes care of them, by flossing and using mouthwash, going to the dentist isn't as important.
roachyroo 5
This is true. I am a dental assistant, I have not been in the chair for two years either. Proper preventative care is key!
Faff 20
I would never trust a dentist whose own assistant never let his teeth get checked.
abbypoo 11
Actually mouthwash dries out your mouth which increases bacteria in the long run. Better to brush & floss.
roachyroo 5
You are right. Mouthwash with alcohol will help to erode the gums.
lifesucks1217 6
I have not been to the dentist in like 6 years ha
Myo_fml 20
I can top you on that one, it's been about seven and a half for me. My family doesn't have dental coverage with the insurance so we only go if something hurts. I don't see how the dental visits matter if you take good care of the teeth on your own.
lifesucks1217 6
its been over 6 years for me that's why I said *like* lol

It was 15 years since I went to the dentist a couple years ago for a cleaning. I take decent care of my teeth and have no more problems with them than most anybody my age. I have no worries.
