Rotting Teeth FAQ Ask The Dentist Richard Winter Question:
Rotting teeth: My friend and I have just parted company because he refuses to do anything about his lower teeth which are brown.

They look rotten to me. Molars and others are missing. He has upper dentures. He is a very healthy 81 year old man and says at his age he is absolutely adamant about not doing anything about his lower teeth.

Yet he expects kisses which I will not give him, telling him "I am not going to kiss a germ and bacteria laden mouth." Wouldn't my own health be at risk? Anyway his mouth is a complete turn-off under the circumstances.

Also, if a man with rotten teeth nibbles on a woman's breast, isn't it possible that the bacteria can travel down the mammary glands and eventually cause cancer? ... Visitor from NJ

Answer:
Regardless of your friends dental state, you are correct in everything you said, except I am unaware of getting cancer from bad toothed breast kissing.

That being said, sounds like you should find a different friend. If he cares about you he should respect your aversion to bad tasting, bacteria laden kisses.

At 81 imagine what his mouth will be like at 85, 91, and 100! He should listen to you and go to the dentist for an evaluation.
