Nothing grosses me out quite like someone with dirty teeth. And, tonight I saw the worst set of teeth I think I have ever seen on a human being... I really had to stop myself from inviting this woman home with me so I could loan her some Crest and a toothbrush. She had so much plaque that at first I thought she had braces or an extra row of teeth. But is was ALL plaque. And, it looked like rocks you would put in a fish bowl. GROSS! I always wonder how a person's teeth can get that way. I realize that not everyone can afford the dentist. I mean we couldn't growing up unless we had a cavity or something. But, my parents had nine children and food and clothes came first. I never saw the dentist until I was 18 and never got a cavity until I was 30, which devastated me beyond belief, but that's a story for another day. Seriously though a toothbrush and toothpaste can be had for cheap- hello Dollar General! I am not trying to be mean, but I was so disturbed by this woman's teeth that I'm not sure I can go back to that particular store again. The first thing I did when I got home was brush and floss my teeth.
P.S. I dare you to Google bad teeth. So-freaking-nasty.

No thank you! I'll take your word for it! I know exactly what you mean!
Yikes! Thats just nasty....going to brush my teeth now!
You make me and Dad sound terrible about the dentist. I know not all of our offspring waited until 18 because Jeremy had a cap and Amy had a couple of fillings. Chris had braces and he lost his retainer in the MTC. Love Mom
Mom, no one thinks you and dad are terrible. At all.
Spare me mom. I don't think people think that. I am not sure many people with 9 kids whose mom stayed home and dad was self employed had half what we did. I woud much rather have had decent clothes and good food than a dental visit! I enjoy the dentist now but even with my own spouse being self employed make sure I go when I can. In the meantime I brush and floss daily.
