Fiance's bad higene - help?!
Question: Fiance's bad higene - help?
Answers:
I believe we can all get bad breath during the day with a long stretch between brushing. No offense to anyone. So maybe you could try this. Don't brush your teeth all day (maybe you brush after every meal; I don't know.) and then either:
1. Bring this up again and tell him you want to show him how bad a person's breath gets during the day. Get up in his face and breath out plenty of air to let him smell. Then go brush your teeth. Then go breath on him again so that he can see the improvement. Or,
2. Or you could just get near him and breath in his face just enough for him to smell, but not so forcefully that he thinks you are doing it on purpose. Then make a point to mention you are going to brush your teeth. And then try to breath on him some more to let him see the improvement.
I like number 1 better, but you have to summon up your diplomacy skills.
After you finish your demonstration, ask him would he please consider brushing at least twice a day with the last time right before bed.
Then cross your fingers.
In addition to the bad breath issue, I feel quite sure there are actual dental benefits to brushing at least twice a day. I think I read that food particles need close to 12 hours to start most of their damage. So if someone will brush once in the morning and then before bed, there won't be much time beyond a 12 hour stretch. I think a mid-day brushing after lunch helps even more, but I'm not sure.
I hope you can get him to listen. Good luck!
put out a brush with some paste already on it, buy him a tongue brush too if needed and point him in the right direction and just dont take no for an answer.
He your fiance but obviously you dont want to live your life with someone who has nasty breath and eventually rotten teeth. I think you have to be firm on this.
Tell him they can't attach verniers to rotten loose teeth.
Once a day is not enough brushing. Teeth should be brushed at a minimum three times and flossed at least once.
Even people (myself) who take good care of their teeth can end up with problems.
Why tempt faith.
People with bad breath could feel embarrassed when told about their smell. So I don't tell them when I meet them, I do rather suggest a bad breath remedy product to them. This makes them feel cared for and not embarrassed.

Ewww I'm sorry! U shud tell him no kissing unless he brushes
You call him your fiance, then bad mouth him to strangers on Ya. Get a grip. You're NOT marrying him because he doesn't brush his teeth according to YOUR values ---- you're marrying him because of who he IS. Stop being so self - righteous & accept him for who he is. I'm sure there are times when YOU'RE not that attractive & don't smell great either, especially after you have neglected your vaginal area for a day or two. When you can say that you're PERFECT, then complain. Keep it real. EDIT : Nah, I'm not ATTRACTED to rotten smelly teeth, but you are sleeping with a guy who does. And I'll bet that if you submitted a photo of yourself online, everybody would see that you ain't "all that." I'm called "Big Cat" because I am a long time, "professional " hardcore, screaming bodybuilder with almost 20" arms, with 2 Titles under my belt. My wife loves me enough that we don't check out each other's teeth. You dig? You are just a trifling little girl who needs to do a lot of growing up. I hope your fiance wisens up and dumps your fat @ss before he begins to adapt your immature values & outlook on life. I don't even feel sorry for you; dames like you are a dime a dozen at any local club.

Whenever I hear a patient tell me that they don't brush night, I immediately know they have some sort of disease going on in their mouth. Throughout the day, one eats at least 3-4 times and if not cleaned via tooth brushing and flossing, the food debris remains on the surfaces of the teeth. When this happens the bacteria in your mouth converts that "food" into hard tartar deposits and colonized around the gum line. This is the beginnings of periodontal disease or gum disease. Pretty soon, the gums become inflammed and bleed spontaneously or when touched by floss or a toothbrush. Gum disease doesn't "hurt". It will just advancing until the tooth becomes loose and needs extraction. By the way, this disease and the bacteria transfers from person to person via kissing or body fluids. Just something to think about. Otherwise, just withhold sex (J/K)
