My friend has bad teeth. I know that you can check an animals health by checking their teeth. So I told him that having bad teeth could signal bad health. He doesn't believe me. I know that we can't be that much different from our animal counterparts. I'm not saying that its the only explanation, but I would like to know if anyone knows something that would back that up. Thank you.
I was told that having bad teeth can signal bad health. Is this true?
yes there definitely is a link. Bad teeth, bad gums, whatever, the link is much more than the medical community thought initially. There are links to heart disease, low birth weight in babies (born to moms with gum disease), stroke, diabetes, stomach problems (such as indigestion) and bacterial endocarditis (infection which attacks the heart valves) and many other things which are being found on a regular basis.
Yes it will be expensive to get things fixed up but with regular care, there is nothing like a healthy mouth. It's easy to chew, food tastes better and your digestive system will thank you! Plus your breath will be sweet!
Reply:I don't think so. I have bad teeth, but I'm in way good health.
Reply:yes, having bad teeth is having bad growth duh... everyone knows that so your friend better go to the dentist for a monthly check up. if he wants to be healthy.
Reply:gingivitis is a disease and if you have it and you swallow it like you do constantly, you are eating it and it goes through your body and you can develop heart disease!!! Seriously, that's what the dentist told me cuz I started to get a mild case of it when I had braces! I don't think she'd lie!
Reply:I was told by a dentist there is a link between bad teeth and bad health. The research showed a correlation between gum disease and heart desease and other health problems.
Reply:your right neglecting teet can be harmful in the long run, dental carries is a tooth disease that needs to b attended if one tooth gets bad the tooth next to it also get bad thus the disease spreads from one tooth to another, which eventually leads to not chewing food properly which in turn leads to stomach ulcers,and gastric problems,
bad teeth causes foul breath food decays in the mouth causing your breath to smell, that would spoil your sex life, kissing is very important, bad teeth leads to bad gums, bleeding gums know as pyrreoh,
ulcers and cancers can occur in the mouth due to bad rigged teeth, he is also easily prone to tooth ache, take your friend to the dentist, he need to thank you for showing interst in his well beeing
Reply:Tell her in a nice way..."I feel it would be best to see a dentist"....now if she does not want to go...then that is her problem and it will get worse not better...If having a bad tooth ache is causing trouble,,,,then she should see a doctor....I knew an acquaintance that had a terrible tooth ache....hated dentists and refuse to go to a dentist.....sadly, he died,....TRUE STORY!!!

Dog has Bad Teeth and allergies to common products!?
I adopted a 7 year old Maltese. Found out he has food allergies and bad teeth. He can not eat, beef, chicken, corn without breaking out with soars all over his little body. Vet told me to feed him home cooked lamb and long grain rice. He is doing better but I'm concerned because I used to feed him hard food and rawhides to help him keep his teeth clean but he is so allergic to everything. I need help with other suggestions to help keep his teeth clean. He will not let me brush his teeth either. Any one with experiance they could share? Any tips? Thanks!
Dog has Bad Teeth and allergies to common products!?
I know there is special dog food you can give him, my friends dog had a similar problem and they feed her some special type of dog food. i can't remember what it was called and the dog died of old age, so I don't want to ask. I would try doing a search on special dog allergy food though.

Reply:You can keep your teeth strong by drinking more milk or anything that has calcium. Your teeth are bones. If your bone is strong your teeth will be too.
Reply:There is still hope. You just have to be very precautionary with your dental hygiene. Also tell your dentist your fears so they can be proactive.
Reply:Crooked teeth can run in a family, just like overbites can (and mine did). I got the braces, so that%26#039;s all fixed up, but chances are, my kids will have them, too.
Reply:Crest Whitestrips are excellent
Reply:Yes they do, but you can to dentist who specialized in cosmatic teeth? It%26#039;s a Sh** load of money though.
Reply:whitning stripes and for braces it costs around $4000 to $6000 it depends on ur teeth get them chaaecked out
Reply:I%26#039;m not sure exactly how it works but it seems pretty common that people with bad teeth have that in common with their parents. I%26#039;m not sure how much braces cost but as for the whitening, I use Listerine Whitening Rinse along with a whitening toothpaste. I%26#039;ve heard good things about Crest White Strips that worked well for my cousin. They are a bit expensive though.
Reply:Yes u can inherit teeth fr ur parents. I did. The best way to find out about prices is to call several dentist offices and compare prices, or go online. Drug stores sell several diff teeth whitening kits. Look down the isles that have tooth brushes, and tooth paste. Good luck.
Reply:bad teeth are a combo of nutrition AND heredity. dentists will tell you sometimes there%26#039;s just a %26quot;weak tooth%26quot; in the bunch (some poeple they are all weak) others have steel chompers. the fix $$ depends on how much is wrong, and I have seen people who%26#039;ve used the crest whitestrips w/ great results. (my teeth aren%26#039;t straight enough for the whitestrips, I%26#039;m afraid of un-whitened spots) I want to try the aquafresh trays but haven%26#039;t tried %26#039;em yet %26#039;cause they%26#039;re $35

%26amp; you don%26#039;t need to get your teeth whitened proffesionaly.
you can use crest whitening strips.
but my dentist told me that the walgreen whitening strips worked really well for one of her clients %26amp; they are like ten dollars cheaper.
Reply:Sure you can %26quot;inherit%26quot; the potential for crooked, weak, or any physical characteristic of our teeth but most likely we %26quot;learn%26quot; bad oral hygiene and do not visit the dentist as we should causing the teeth we have to %26quot;go bad%26quot;.
%26quot;How much is it to get your teeth fixed%26quot; is a dependent question much like %26quot;How much is a car?%26quot;. The answer would depend on what is wrong with the teeth and what do you want fixed. It%26#039;s best to avoid those teeth whiteners until you have had your teeth checked and cleaned first.
Reply:Two ways bad teeth are hereditary: crooked teeth caused from small jaw (which makes it hard and impossible to keep clean) or weak enamel.
Two ways of professional whitening: Trays with an initial cost of about $700 because an impression will have to be made so a customized tray can be made, then the chemicals amount to about half that cost, which is actually enough to whiten your teeth every six months for two years. Second way is with the lase light. This runs well over $1,000 but the results are stunning!!
Over the counter whitening: Crest has an ultimate care package for $30-40 that is getting rave reviews.

Bad case of teeth-grinding?
Hey!
So I%26#039;ve been a bad teeth-grinder for a few years and it%26#039;s gotten to the point where some of my teeth are getting pretty sharp/pointy at the places where my grinding is wearing them down. Not only does my jaw hurt in the mornings, but my mouth also tastes ever so slightly of blood when I wake. My dentist is afraid that I%26#039;m going to grind my teeth down far enough that it will cause serious problems. All of the mouth-guards that I%26#039;ve tried so far are not helpful because they are uncomfortable enough that it%26#039;s hard to sleep, and when I do sleep I chew pretty much right through the mouthguard after a few months. I guess I%26#039;m just a nervous, fidgety, stressed person to begin with.
Is there anything I can do to get rid of this problem? I could keep trying mouthguards, but I%26#039;d really like something that could get to the root of the problem. What causes the grinding, mentally, and is there anything I can do calm down that part of the brain???
Thanks.
Bad case of teeth-grinding?
i clamp my jaws shut non stop, actually as i write this im doing it, i have to keep reminding myself to oven my jaws!
ive done alot of damage in my teeth already, 5 fillings, one got a crack right through so i had to get it pulled out, ouch
and its just getting worse, i find the more sleep i get the more relaxed i am
BUT its still not helping that much, i dunno what to do!!!
GOOD LUCK, im with ya
Reply:I had this problem too and I was told that teeth grinding is usually due to stress
Reply:Bruxism is when you clench or grind your teeth.
People can clench and grind subconsciously during both the day and night, although sleep-related bruxism is often the bigger problem because it is harder to control.
The cause of bruxism is not completely agreed upon, but daily stress may be the trigger in many people. Some people probably clench and never feel symptoms. Whether or not bruxism causes pain and other problems may be a complicated mix of factors -- how much stress you are under, how long and tightly you clench and grind, whether your teeth are misaligned, your posture, ability to relax, diet, sleeping habits, and other factors. Each person is probably different.
Reply:Go to the pharmacy and tell them what you are experiencing there is a product there and it is a soft plastic plate you can sleep with in your mouth so you cannot grind your teeth.
Reply:Try acupuncture. Have a friend with similar problem, she did the acupuncture and voila she stopped grinding and clenching her teeth. (she%26#039;s an acupuncturist)

What is considered to be "bad teeth"?
Like when a guy says %26quot;bad teeth%26quot; are a deal breaker? Does that mean missing teeth? snaggle tooth? I just wonder because I have a small space in between my front 2 teeth, and its not that my teeth are missing or anything its just a slight space, i just wondered if this is considered to be %26quot;bad teeth%26quot;
What is considered to be %26quot;bad teeth%26quot;?
I guess it%26#039;s kinda relative. You might not have perfect teeth but I don%26#039;t think they%26#039;re bad. Jewel has that snaggle tooth but her teeth aren%26#039;t that bad. They seem pretty healthy. Bad teeth to me means they%26#039;re yellow/crooked/big gaps/missing some teeth. If you%26#039;ve gaps where you%26#039;re missing teeth, you kinda look like a hillbilly and that would probably be a deal breaker.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think a slight space is considered bad. If they are really crooked ,yellow, or rotten, that%26#039;s bad.

Do bad teeth run in the famlies?
My wife%26#039;s teeth are rotting out of her mouth. She says they are bad because she inherited her Grand father%26#039;s teeth. His teeth were pulled then dentured at young age of 25. She also blamed steroids she was on when they thought she had MS. Is any of this possible, or does she just practice poor dental hygine? (she does drink alot of colas everyday)
Do bad teeth run in the famlies?
It sounds like a combination of problems, poor hygiene habits, genetics and possible medication and/or illness. She should get in to see her dentist and discuss this with him. Better to change your oral hygiene habits sooner versus later. Brushing for 2 minutes 3 times a day, flossing a few times a day, using a mouthwash. Cola is terrible for teeth, but if she must have it, then tell her to try to brush afterwards or at least drink water afterwards. I hope that this helps and good luck to you two!
Reply:you%26#039;re welcome Report It
Reply:bad teeth doesnt run in families...bad teeth habits can, though
Reply:The cola%26#039;s couldnt help. But yes, weak teeth can be blamed on genetics. My husband has the same case.
Reply:definitely bad hygiene,
if she takes care of them then there should be no logical explanation for them to be rotting.
My parents have pretty bad teeth, but that is because they come from another country and they barely got dentist checkups as kids. My teeth are very healthy and bright though, they were strong enought to endure braces and they are whiter than my parents%26#039;.
it is all about how you take care of them, she is probably not doing something, like brushing regularly and drinking too much soda, eating candy and stuff.
Reply:Does she brush her teeth or use listerine? Those two things can stop bad teeth. My mom had her teeth replaced at a young age as well, but it was SOLELY because she didnt take care of them. I bet she isnt taking very good care of them either... I brush my teeth twice a day, and use mouth wash, and floss... and my teeth HAVE NEVER EVER had problems.
Reply:All the factors you mention could affect your wife%26#039;s dental health. There are certainly genetic factors that could give a person stronger or weaker enamel (the protective outer coating of the teeth); if her mother had a calcium deficiency when she was pregnant, that could have resulted in your wife%26#039;s teeth not developing the necessary strength to remain healthy through her life. Drinking high sugar colas can deteriorate the enamel. And certain medications are bad for the teeth.
Reply:It can be but It is more likely to be the 2 together poor hygiene and genetics.
Reply:No, But I believe that diarrhea is hereditary...it runs in your jeans
Reply:Yes, bad teeth do run in families. All of my grandparents had dentures. My father got an upper-plate when he was in his early 20s. My mom got her dentures in her 40s. I religiously brush and floss several times a day and I have for years, but I%26#039;m the next candidate for dentures in our family.
Reply:you have answered this yourself colas =sugar=decay tell her to use a toothbrush or she will be sucking apples than biting them ugh
Reply:sometimes, my grangfather had very poor teeth, i have very poor teeth! but you do have to take care of them!
Reply:no
Reply:Bad teeth aren%26#039;t inherited in any way, unless like you said she just has poor dental hygiene habits. But a Dentist can only tell... Because let me tell you something I am a chocolate, caffeine %26amp; sweets addict and still the only time I have to go to the dentist was for my twice a year cleaning.
Reply:It is probably a combination of the two. Weaker teeth can be genetic but rotting is due to poor hygiene. If she knows her teeth are week she should not drink soda. The acid is soda weakens teeth. Also, she should brush at least twice a day (I brush 3 times a day) and floss daily. Mouthwashing would help as well. She should definitely see a dentist so they can assess the situation and advise her as to how to prevent losing all of her teeth.
Reply:Certain characteristics that lead to bad teeth can run in families (e.g. excessive plaque production, weaker bones). I know I%26#039;m lucky to have my dad%26#039;s teeth and not my mom%26#039;s. The soda will play a HUGE part in her tooth decay. H-U-G-E, especially if other members of her family were prone to tooth decay. She may have inherited some obstacles to healthy teeth, but she could cultivate good dental hygiene practices to avoid the same problems.
Reply:she%26#039;s your wife, you should have some idea about her hygine and how well she takes care of her teeth. Make sure she brushes her teeth every morning and every night and flosses regularly. Have her see a dentist and stop drinking sodas and then if her teeth continue to worsen you can chalk it up to heredity.
Reply:Since I have a carbon copy of my mother%26#039;s bad teeth, I would tend to say yes. B.
Reply:The colas aren%26#039;t helping any but yes bad teeth are inherited. My break into little pieces all the time and so do my cousins and sisters.
Reply:Yes, the propensity for bad teeth can be inherited. She needs to be especially hygenic. By the way, I like your avatar!! Wow!
Reply:The colas can%26#039;t be helping...I hope a doctor answers, because I am not sure if teeth can be hereditery, but I think they are.
Good luck...
Reply:i had recently taken my 1 1/2 year old to the oediodontist because of discoloration on one of her molars. The y explained to me that teeth are genetic but that it runs in the mothers side of the family. so what ever her mothers teeth were like is what her teeth would be like. but if they are taken care of it can be avoioded. on the other hand some people just believe that if one of their family members have bad teeth then there is nothing they can do about it so why should they try. As it turned out my daughter has discoloration on her teeth because of nebulzer treatment she had as an infant. She has asthma and before babies teeth come in, the albuterol treatments can cause the teeth to rot before they come in. So there is another warning. just to let you know, i don%26#039;t know why.
Reply:You teeth are essentially bone. And almost everything physically related to the human body follows through the family genetics. Its a hit and miss type thing. You could ened up with the weak gene being dominant or with the stronger gene being dominant. Its luck of the draw. My family has a history of having bad teeth, crooked twisted and weak, my sister inherited the crooked teeth, but braces fixed that, and I inherited weak enamel, but have perfectly straight teeth. You can overcome some of these issues, like my sister getting braces and my 6 month enamel treatment, but genetics are genetics.
Reply:It%26#039;s most probably a combination of all the things you mentioned and add to the mix lack of dental care. I have inherited %26quot;soft%26quot; teeth and even though I%26#039;ve had access to dental care all of my life 3 years ago I had to have $7,000. worth of work done, and that only took care of my top teeth. I now have to have extensive work on the bottom teeth. Keep in mind, also that my teeth do, and have always, looked perfect, although there were many underlying problems. I have always gotten compliments on my smile and teeth, but they weren%26#039;t %26quot;healthy%26quot; teeth,gums,bone. I also know from my sister who has MS the damage the meds cause the teeth. She, unfortunately, had to have all of them pulled and she now has dentures. So, don%26#039;t put the blame solely on your wife%26#039;s irresponsibility. These things can happen. Good luck and you just have to accept the fact that her dental health is going to come at a huge price. Sorry, have lived it and it%26#039;s not fun nor cheap. It%26#039;s an ongoing, major expense for us.
Reply:absolutely not. baldness and skin color are inherited.
your wife%26#039;s problems are a combination of problems all related to the bacteria in her mouth. for starters, ask her if she ever has a dry mouth. i can already tell you the answer is yes and the cause is her medicine. saliva is natures way of cleaning the bugs off of your teeth and without it your teeth head south quickly. and like most people with a dry mouth she uses her favorite drink to moisten her mouth. and like most people, she reaches for high octane bacteria food: soda! this is similar to putting out a fire with gasoline. and finally, she has ignorantly accepted her destiny of losing teeth so she probably isn%26#039;t too diligent with her hygiene since, to her, she is fighting an uphill, losing battle anyway.
the combination of these factors has led to her dental demise. it is sad that people blame their relatives though.
Reply:Sometimes a lack of calcification runs in families, also absents of some teeth.
But oral Hygiene, flossing, use of mouthwash and regular visits to the dentist can make up for it
Reply:To some extent they do. I never had braces and have perfectly straight teeth. That is inherited. At the same time, my father had severe gum disease and had to have all of his teeth pulled in his 30s. All six of his children still have all of their teeth and our ages range from 36-56. However, 2 of my brothers did not go to the dentist at all while in their 20s, both of them have periodontal disease, although not as seriously as my father.
Soda rots teeth. My husband has horrible teeth. If you do not get fluoride treatments regularly during your formative years, your teeth are more prone to decay. Drinking soda just makes this situation worse.
Reply:YES,IT IS CALLED GENETICS.
Reply:Chronic use of steroids can cause dental problems. It is all the more important to practice excellent oral hygiene, but she may be able to blame the medicine...
Reply:Maybe she is embarrassed about her teeth so uses the given excuses above. She really should be looking after them no matter what. Perhaps, you can gently persuade her to go to the dentist for some advice and treatment.

It sounds like a combination of problems, poor hygiene habits, genetics and possible medication and/or illness. She should get in to see her dentist and discuss this with him. Better to change your oral hygiene habits sooner versus later. Brushing for 2 minutes 3 times a day, flossing a few times a day, using a mouthwash. Cola is terrible for teeth, but if she must have it, then tell her to try to brush afterwards or at least drink water afterwards. I hope that this helps and good luck to you two!

Reply:bad teeth doesnt run in families...bad teeth habits can, though
Reply:The cola%26#039;s couldnt help. But yes, weak teeth can be blamed on genetics. My husband has the same case.
Reply:definitely bad hygiene,
if she takes care of them then there should be no logical explanation for them to be rotting.
My parents have pretty bad teeth, but that is because they come from another country and they barely got dentist checkups as kids. My teeth are very healthy and bright though, they were strong enought to endure braces and they are whiter than my parents%26#039;.
it is all about how you take care of them, she is probably not doing something, like brushing regularly and drinking too much soda, eating candy and stuff.
Reply:Does she brush her teeth or use listerine? Those two things can stop bad teeth. My mom had her teeth replaced at a young age as well, but it was SOLELY because she didnt take care of them. I bet she isnt taking very good care of them either... I brush my teeth twice a day, and use mouth wash, and floss... and my teeth HAVE NEVER EVER had problems.
Reply:All the factors you mention could affect your wife%26#039;s dental health. There are certainly genetic factors that could give a person stronger or weaker enamel (the protective outer coating of the teeth); if her mother had a calcium deficiency when she was pregnant, that could have resulted in your wife%26#039;s teeth not developing the necessary strength to remain healthy through her life. Drinking high sugar colas can deteriorate the enamel. And certain medications are bad for the teeth.
Reply:It can be but It is more likely to be the 2 together poor hygiene and genetics.
Reply:No, But I believe that diarrhea is hereditary...it runs in your jeans
Reply:Yes, bad teeth do run in families. All of my grandparents had dentures. My father got an upper-plate when he was in his early 20s. My mom got her dentures in her 40s. I religiously brush and floss several times a day and I have for years, but I%26#039;m the next candidate for dentures in our family.
Reply:you have answered this yourself colas =sugar=decay tell her to use a toothbrush or she will be sucking apples than biting them ugh
Reply:sometimes, my grangfather had very poor teeth, i have very poor teeth! but you do have to take care of them!
Reply:no
Reply:Bad teeth aren%26#039;t inherited in any way, unless like you said she just has poor dental hygiene habits. But a Dentist can only tell... Because let me tell you something I am a chocolate, caffeine %26amp; sweets addict and still the only time I have to go to the dentist was for my twice a year cleaning.
Reply:It is probably a combination of the two. Weaker teeth can be genetic but rotting is due to poor hygiene. If she knows her teeth are week she should not drink soda. The acid is soda weakens teeth. Also, she should brush at least twice a day (I brush 3 times a day) and floss daily. Mouthwashing would help as well. She should definitely see a dentist so they can assess the situation and advise her as to how to prevent losing all of her teeth.
Reply:Certain characteristics that lead to bad teeth can run in families (e.g. excessive plaque production, weaker bones). I know I%26#039;m lucky to have my dad%26#039;s teeth and not my mom%26#039;s. The soda will play a HUGE part in her tooth decay. H-U-G-E, especially if other members of her family were prone to tooth decay. She may have inherited some obstacles to healthy teeth, but she could cultivate good dental hygiene practices to avoid the same problems.
Reply:she%26#039;s your wife, you should have some idea about her hygine and how well she takes care of her teeth. Make sure she brushes her teeth every morning and every night and flosses regularly. Have her see a dentist and stop drinking sodas and then if her teeth continue to worsen you can chalk it up to heredity.
Reply:Since I have a carbon copy of my mother%26#039;s bad teeth, I would tend to say yes. B.
Reply:The colas aren%26#039;t helping any but yes bad teeth are inherited. My break into little pieces all the time and so do my cousins and sisters.
Reply:Yes, the propensity for bad teeth can be inherited. She needs to be especially hygenic. By the way, I like your avatar!! Wow!
Reply:The colas can%26#039;t be helping...I hope a doctor answers, because I am not sure if teeth can be hereditery, but I think they are.
Good luck...
Reply:i had recently taken my 1 1/2 year old to the oediodontist because of discoloration on one of her molars. The y explained to me that teeth are genetic but that it runs in the mothers side of the family. so what ever her mothers teeth were like is what her teeth would be like. but if they are taken care of it can be avoioded. on the other hand some people just believe that if one of their family members have bad teeth then there is nothing they can do about it so why should they try. As it turned out my daughter has discoloration on her teeth because of nebulzer treatment she had as an infant. She has asthma and before babies teeth come in, the albuterol treatments can cause the teeth to rot before they come in. So there is another warning. just to let you know, i don%26#039;t know why.
Reply:You teeth are essentially bone. And almost everything physically related to the human body follows through the family genetics. Its a hit and miss type thing. You could ened up with the weak gene being dominant or with the stronger gene being dominant. Its luck of the draw. My family has a history of having bad teeth, crooked twisted and weak, my sister inherited the crooked teeth, but braces fixed that, and I inherited weak enamel, but have perfectly straight teeth. You can overcome some of these issues, like my sister getting braces and my 6 month enamel treatment, but genetics are genetics.
Reply:It%26#039;s most probably a combination of all the things you mentioned and add to the mix lack of dental care. I have inherited %26quot;soft%26quot; teeth and even though I%26#039;ve had access to dental care all of my life 3 years ago I had to have $7,000. worth of work done, and that only took care of my top teeth. I now have to have extensive work on the bottom teeth. Keep in mind, also that my teeth do, and have always, looked perfect, although there were many underlying problems. I have always gotten compliments on my smile and teeth, but they weren%26#039;t %26quot;healthy%26quot; teeth,gums,bone. I also know from my sister who has MS the damage the meds cause the teeth. She, unfortunately, had to have all of them pulled and she now has dentures. So, don%26#039;t put the blame solely on your wife%26#039;s irresponsibility. These things can happen. Good luck and you just have to accept the fact that her dental health is going to come at a huge price. Sorry, have lived it and it%26#039;s not fun nor cheap. It%26#039;s an ongoing, major expense for us.
Reply:absolutely not. baldness and skin color are inherited.
your wife%26#039;s problems are a combination of problems all related to the bacteria in her mouth. for starters, ask her if she ever has a dry mouth. i can already tell you the answer is yes and the cause is her medicine. saliva is natures way of cleaning the bugs off of your teeth and without it your teeth head south quickly. and like most people with a dry mouth she uses her favorite drink to moisten her mouth. and like most people, she reaches for high octane bacteria food: soda! this is similar to putting out a fire with gasoline. and finally, she has ignorantly accepted her destiny of losing teeth so she probably isn%26#039;t too diligent with her hygiene since, to her, she is fighting an uphill, losing battle anyway.
the combination of these factors has led to her dental demise. it is sad that people blame their relatives though.
Reply:Sometimes a lack of calcification runs in families, also absents of some teeth.
But oral Hygiene, flossing, use of mouthwash and regular visits to the dentist can make up for it
Reply:To some extent they do. I never had braces and have perfectly straight teeth. That is inherited. At the same time, my father had severe gum disease and had to have all of his teeth pulled in his 30s. All six of his children still have all of their teeth and our ages range from 36-56. However, 2 of my brothers did not go to the dentist at all while in their 20s, both of them have periodontal disease, although not as seriously as my father.
Soda rots teeth. My husband has horrible teeth. If you do not get fluoride treatments regularly during your formative years, your teeth are more prone to decay. Drinking soda just makes this situation worse.
Reply:YES,IT IS CALLED GENETICS.
Reply:Chronic use of steroids can cause dental problems. It is all the more important to practice excellent oral hygiene, but she may be able to blame the medicine...
Reply:Maybe she is embarrassed about her teeth so uses the given excuses above. She really should be looking after them no matter what. Perhaps, you can gently persuade her to go to the dentist for some advice and treatment.

Bad teeth? turn off?
ok i dont have really bad teeth but some ppl think its a turn off to have crooked yellow teeth and some people dont mind. whats ur opinion?
Bad teeth? turn off?
i think bad teeth are awful. i cant say mine are the prettiest but when a guy has bad teeth i certainly wouldnt want to kiss him. sorry. but thats just from a strangers prospective. im sure if you were friends with someone or they got to know you, that it wouldnt bother them
Reply:I think its a bit of a turn off
**Just being honest**
Reply:I think it%26#039;s a major turnoff. Bad teeth usually equals smokign habits, alcoholism and just plain laziness. And it is definitley not an attraction to women or men either!
Reply:Your %26quot;friend%26quot; who has bad teeth should just find someone else who has bad teeth, and then %26quot;their%26quot; gingivitis and tooth tartar can fester together in holy matrimony.
Reply:TURN WAAAAAY OFF beacuase there mouth might smell bad or it turns off the face... http://www.mikesjournal.com/October%2020...
Reply:How do you feel about them? Teeth can always be fixed. It%26#039;s like you said, some people mind them and some people don%26#039;t.
Reply:I have white crooked teeth and I think I%26#039;m an Individual......so no.
Reply:Yeah that%26#039;s really a turn off. The yellow teeth could have been eaisly stopped by using a toothbrush, toothpaste and a lil water and mouthwash
Reply:if they are crooked i can deal with it (sumtimes) cuz thats a little harder to fix... but yellow, eww... whiten them! it doesnt take that long to clean you teeth everyday! thats just bad hygene.
Reply:crooked it okay but yellow eeww
Reply:i think its disgusting
Reply:Yellow!
Reply:i think crooked white teeth are better than straight yellow teeth. sometimes crooked teeth add to someone%26#039;s character. i know a couple guys that have messed up grills but are really cute. maybe just try some tooth whitener but if you really want straight teeth you could look into the invisilign braces.
Reply:I think one should take the best care of their teeth as possible. A smile is one of the first things a people sees when they see you. Also bad teeth can be a sign of or symptom of bad health. Try to make time to visit your dentist regularly. But I still wouldn%26#039;t let the appearance of your teeth deter me from counting you as a friend
