Bad teeth AIBU to mention?

My boyfriend of 5 years (we don't live together) has always had pretty badly looked after teeth (neglected in his teens, he brushes them several times per day now but it's too late).

Around 6 months ago one of them snapped completely and he needs a crown. It looks pretty bad and is in quite a visible place. He doesn't appear bothered about getting it sorted.

In short, his teeth are getting to be a real turn off. Money is not an issue and he is not phobic about the dentist. He just prioritises work etc over getting this sorted.

WIBU to say how I'm feeling? What would you do?

Please go easy, not done AIBU before!

Thanks.

No not unreasonable.
My DH is only now sorting out his teeth and went to the dentist.
The upshot is a couple of teeth had to be removed and although there not the front ones, it's not a good look. He's really conscious of smiling now Sad

If money is not an issue tell him to get it sorted now! It comes under the bracket of personal hygiene IMO which affects you both as a couple.

Out of interest there's quite a few things that we can all do to help our teeth ourselves. Electric toothbrushes are good of course but not to be overused. There's oil pulling which is amazing for improving the cleanliness and colour of our teeth. Google it on Earth Clinic.

And 'clacking' which is literally just making a grimace and bringing our teeth together a few times. I do this 3 times in the morning and night . My dentist is surprised at the health of my teeth. I'm 65 , no false ones at all.! Oh I did have a very filled one fall out last year and a new one is growing Shock honest!!!
