I would like to help him....

I'm with my partner for two years. We don't live together.

I noticed something, not long after dating him. I noticed a stain in my bra. It looked like my nipple was bleeding. It happened every time we played and he sucked on my nipples. It took me a few months to realise, it wasn't me, it was him. I think he bleeds from his mouth. It's evident in the mornings when he stays over and there's a pinkish bloodstain on the pillow.

He goes to the dentist once every six months. I've caught him a few times going to bed without brushing his teeth. When I remind him to brush his teeth, there is no way he spends the recommended time of two minutes brushing his teeth. Also, he works as a barman. There's some late nights and sometimes followed by early mornings. Very bad combination. I doubt he brushes his teeth on them late nights.

I recently had dental problems and upped my oral care routine. I found a toothpaste and mouthwash thats not vile for bleeding gums.

I'd like to help the Mr. Would he be insulted if I was to buy him a few dental care products.

I think you sound lovely and kind. That would’ve been a dealbreaker for me!Flowers

He needs to get with brushing, flossing and Corsodyl before his teeth fall out. Either that or other things are causing the bleeding like cocaine or smoking.

It sounds a bit odd that his teeth or gums bleed during the night, could it be coming from his tongue?

Sorry but I'd be more worried about kissing him. Poor oral hygiene is not respectful. Maybe you could get him an electric toothbrush? Doesn't have to cost a fortune.
