my husband will not go to a dentist.?

Question:

my husband's teeth are just looking terrible. i mean i dont think a dentist could save his teeth. you can see on the top teeth receding gums and the roots exposed.the bottom piled up tartar. i've told to put his hand over his mouth when he laughs. also don't smile as big. what can i do? he is just lucky he as no toothaches. i know he has that disease ofthe mouth and is dangerous. i refuse to kiss him because i have read and heard i could get it too. and of course he's not sexy to look at now. i hear this prblem can cause health issues he has now diabetes 2 which comes from his teeth and gums. he hasn't gone to a dentist since i met him. that was 1980. i notice in older pictures his teeth were straight. his teeth are crooked with gaps between his upper 4 front teeth. i'm his second wife his teeth were perfect for his first wife. no kidding this is the worse case i've seen on a person. please help me. he's a little chicken.

Answers:
The infection in his mouth can spread to other parts of his body, even his pancreas, possibly making him more apt to get the Diabetes... and the diabetes makes his body not heal as well so the infection in his mouth isn't going to get better on its own.

The infection can spead to his heart and other organs, causing damage. The inflammation in his mouth is going to travel to other areas... and what is inflammation going to do to other organs? Make it harder for them to work. Inflammation in the blood stream can make the Blood Pressure increase. (like squeezing a hose with water running in it... the more 'inflammation' or squeezing, the higher the pressure) Inflammation is your body's response to something that isn't really suppose to be there.

Yes, you can get that bacteria in your system from him. Don't share eating utensils with him. Kissing, well, that is at your own discretion. Other people can get it too if they share a soda pop or anything with him, so hopefully he's not sharing anything with anyone. If your body isn't in good health, then you are more apt to come down with something as well. Take care of you... eat healthy, go for a walk daily, take your vitamins, and drink water.

He really needs to see a dentist. Sounds like he needs to visit a Periodontist. He can get nitrous and he will be in La-La land for awhile and not have a care in the world. I love the stuff. It's like having a few drinks but not having to use the restroom every other minute! :) Also, local anesthetics are great as well. Novacaine isn't used anymore. He would get, depending on his health history and medications, Mepivicaine, lidocaine, carbocaine, etc. They are in a different class of anesthetic than Novacaine. There are AMIDES and ESTERS. Amides are metabolized in the liver, like the three meds I mentioned above. Esters, like novacaine, are metabolized in blood plasma and are more likely to cause an allergic reaction to people. Cocaine is in that same drug category... so that's why some people die from using Cocaine for the first time, due to an allergic reaction (other than the fact that it's not a good thing for you to begin with!)

ok, thats just gross, he needs to go to a dentist, if i had a man that i was literally ashamed to be seen with, i'd have to divorce his a**!!!
