How do you tell a guy that his teeth are fixed?
Don’t nag them with questions like “When are you going to get that fixed?” Instead, remind them of your concern. Let them know that this isn’t something that isn’t going away unless it’s fixed. And reiterate offers of help and support. Always be positive about the possibilities, not negative about the problem.
Can cavities transfer through kissing?
Cavities are usually caused by sugar build up that decays teeth. However, studies have shown that cavities can be transmitted through close contact with another person who has poor oral hygiene. Indeed, studies have found that one person can develop a cavity on their tooth via kissing.
Can kissing increase cavities?
Kissing can also transmit the bad bacteria that lead to cavities. This risk is particularly important to keep in mind when kissing babies and newborns. They don’t have the bacteria that cause tooth decay in their mouths at birth, but if someone with infected saliva kisses them, those bacteria can then colonize.
Should your top and bottom back teeth touch?
FROM THE FRONT: your upper front teeth should fall in front of your lower teeth (toward your lip), and should overlap them by about 2 mm. Upper and lower front teeth should hit lightly. FROM THE TOP (OR BOTTOM): The back teeth should be upright, NOT tipped toward the cheek or tongue.
How do you tell a guy he has bad teeth?
Tell him the problem directly. Let him know that you have noticed the problem and that for his own health, he needs to take care of it. You can say, “You have been complaining about tooth pain for weeks now, and I can see that one of your teeth is turning black. It’s time for you to get it checked out by a dentist.”
How does a cavity look like when it starts?
What Does a Cavity Look Like? While it is usually difficult to see a cavity in its beginning stages, some cavities start with a whitish or chalky appearance on the enamel of your tooth. More serious cases can have a discolored brown or black color. However, most often there are no distinguishable red alerts.
