if someone is missing some teeth, what could this mean?!


Question: If someone is missing some teeth, what could this mean?
my boyfriends mother is missing the majority of her teeth, they live in a trailor.. and doesnt have alot of money.. so does this mean she's on drugs? :((

Answers:

It's a possibility, but if she were on drugs she might smell like smoke [if she smokes it] or have puffy eyes, etc. It could just be because she never went to the dentist so her rotten teeth fell out?



I don't know why you would automatically assume drugs. If they are poor like you say, they probably can't afford regular dental visits, and poor diet could also attribute to missing teeth. Or they could have got knocked out in a fight.



can you say "Racial Profiling"



It means she's missing a lot of teeth.



she could just not take care of her teeth.
