Why Don’t People Take Better Care Of Their Teeth?

Seems to me, you only have to brush the teeth you hope to keep. So, why do people avoid brushing?
I understand some people are afraid of going to the dentists… but you either go often for a short visits, or once for a really expensive visit. Sometimes I wonder if people SEE their teeth?

It’s because they don’t get the point.

Some people do take care of their teeth. Its just that they don’t have insurance to get a regular check up. If they have a cavity they can’t get it fixed so it gets bigger and soon it looks like they have a black tooth

It might not be a very big chore but it’s still a chore nonetheless.

because they haven’t realized the consequences of rotten teeth. an infected tooth affects the whole body and can be as serious as a heart attack…….people just need to realize that teeth are not just there to look pretty on the outside (and be rotten on the inside) just cause you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not harmful….BRUSH AND FLOSS PLEASE!!!!

I brush my teeth two times a day morning and night. I would say that they are lazy to brush their teeth, or they do not want to. If people cannot take care of their teeth, they would suffer cavities, tooth decay, tanker sores, or gum disease. I saw pictures of teeth, they are not pretty nice photos. It shows what happens if they do not brush their teeth. Some pictures will turn black, rotten or tooth decay. It is not good to spend the rest of their lives ignoring to brush their teeth. If anyone had children, you cannot teach them brushing their teeth is bad for people or it is only for adults.

Some people have the opportunity with health insurance and don’t care, while they point out to everyone else their faults and rub it in that they have insurance, but don’t take responsibility for their health. Like Eddie Murphy “i have an ice cream, I have an ice cream, and you don’t.
I would do anything to have insurance and take good care of my health.
