Not brushing teeth enough?

I'm very disgusted with my husbands teeth he just will not brush them!!! I mean he can go month on end w/out brushing which i find totally disgusting! i dont know how to make him do it on his own? On top of that his older tooth rotted out so they had to put a rod in his gum and then a fake tooth cap over it. well now the cap has fell off and just the black rod is exposed it's so expensive to fix! we only have medicaid any suggestions?

Not brushing teeth enough?
Your husband needs some self-discipline when it comes to brushing teeth. It only takes two times a day, preferably after breakfast and after dinner. Just tell your husband that if he doesn't brush his teeth, they will eventualy fall out (obviously), and that not brushing them will cause kidney problems and other stomach problems. Just keep encouraging him to brush them and tell him the long-term affects of not brushing them. Afterall, it should not take no more than 10 minutes out of your day (5 minutes in morning 5 at night). Well goodluck with your husband and i hope i helped.

Reply:same problem here, I wont kiss my husband anymore....he still doesn't get it, good luck!
Reply:I understand what you are going through my husband is the same way. I'll kiss him but no tongue anymore. just thinking about the way it felt grossed me out. I tell him if you want the tongue go brush and use Listerine. I think I saw an ad on t.v. were you can get just dental coverage for a low price that covers the whole family. But this is major so If your lucky most companies cover 50% with a referral from the dentist.
Reply:Have you talked to your husband about this? That's really disgusting. He has to take care of it! What would happen if your stopped showering and cleaning your hair? Same thing! Can you take pictures and show them to him. That might do the trick. I hope it works out for you. Good luck!!
Reply:That is sick, I didn't realize how many people don't have basic personal hygiene.
Reply:He's probably afraid to go to the dentist.If you have medicaid,check your booklet to see where they accept that or call a dentist school near you.They should accept it.Anyway,it's gotta be painful for him so just keep talking about that and how much worse it could feel.Also I found this online:Many studies showed a clear association between gum disease and heart disease;so research that and show him.For now,just call him in the bathroom while your brushing your teeth and have his brush all ready...if he doesnt want to,beg him and tell him how much you love him and miss kissing him or something....Good luck!
Reply:You can tell him .Ithink this need some kind of confidence in you. Remember tat if you continue to assume that while you are not fine with him he might think tat you actually can cope with it.Just a minute since when did he start doing it. It perfectly depends on how you value your marriage. But if you like it please you may tell him thathe could do you afavour by brushing it. Perhaps it could be that his teeth are painfull when he brushes them AND SHOULD VISIT A dENTIST AND EAT MUCH FRUITS.
Reply:I would head for divorce, there is no excuse for bad dental hygiene. How can you stand kissing him? It must be like kissing a skip.
