To cut a long story short - DS1 has left home, working, doing ok, I think. He is Dyspraxic - untidy, poor concentration, but sociable pleasant lots of friends etc. Except we met up yesterday and his teeth were quite frankly disgusting. When a younger teenager dental hygiene wasn't his priority but with some nagging he has escaped without any fillings. I of course tried to talk to him about it but he simply told me to mind my own business.
Any suggestions - I can't bear the thought of him having all the complications associated with gum disease and I feel like a completely terrible parent that he has got into this state.
