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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

You don't necessarily need to go to the Dentist, as long as your mouth is healthy and has nothing wrong. But from what I gather, everyone needs to go at least once a year

I haven't been to the dentist since 2009. But I have perfect teeth. My insurance is the VA hospital so I only go if I have to.

so? I haven't been to the Dentist in 7 years and before that it had been 10 years... Never had any issues. Just take care of your teeth and don't waste money on a useless Dentist

My previous boss spent about 20-40k on his teeth in the last 1-2 years. Not everyone has the genetics of good teeth (I do, however). I figure $300 a year ($150 each session) is a good deal for having perfect tooth and gum health and reliable advice - far from 'useless'. I wonder how much you will spend on fad diets and quackery this year instead of seeing a medical professional.

Why is it so bad he doesn't go to the dentist? As long as he cleans his teeth on a daily basis it's perfectly fine. I've only been to the dentist once in my 15 years and I'm not disgusting or weird. I take care of my teeth .

Go get your damn teeth cleaned twice a year and brush and floss and you probably won't have a problem. Bacteria breeds under the gums which is what hygienists clean out every 6 months. If you're not doing that you could develop periodontal disease which can spread to other areas of your body and cause loads of problems.
