How do I convince my boyfriend to go to the dentist? HELP!?

He constantly has terrible breath (which he denies when I tell him this), and his gums badly bleed often when he brushes. When he sleeps, the bad breath fills the room he is in and I can't stand to sleep there too! He hasn't been to the dentist in 3 years, smokes, and doesn't eat the healthiest.
Answer:
Be very firm with him and tell him he needs to see a dentist--there is no way to beat around the bush--if this is serious then he needs to go now. Tell him the truth--your his girl he will take it best from you.
Threaten to break up with him, and date someone with shiny, pearly white teeth and minty fresh breath. I think Fabio is available at the right price.
dont kiss him or give him any action till he sees the dentist, that will make any man do what he got to do. Tell him he turns you off with that breath
Eeekk! You need to tell him that his lack of hygiene is turning you off and you think he needs to go to the dentist before hes toothless. Scare him a little about him losing teeth for his lack of attention in that department.
if you've already asked him to go to the dentist and he won't, then it's time to take ACTION! if you don't wanna let him go, go without taking a shower for a couple weeks or until he decides he will go to a dentist for you.
gross..my brother had the same problem...honestly though I had to keep telling him that's disgusting, no one wants to kiss someone with bloody gums and bad breath. Ask him if the rolls were switched and you were the one with constantly bad hygiene, would he want to kiss you?
That's horrible. He's probably got severe gingivitis - it can be aggravated by smoking, and that's what's causing the bleeding gums and APPALLING breath.Next time he denies his bad breath, tell him to lick the back of his hand, let it dry then sniff it. Believe me he'll realise the problem.The fact that you're no longer willing to share his bed should be enough to get him to start looking after himself. Try and find the worst pictures you can of gingivitis sufferers on Google. And if he still refuses to see the dentist you might want to reconsider how much you want to be with a guy who you can't even kiss because he's so gross.
Use your power over men - cut him off! Then...tell him how it affects you. This is for his own good. The bad breath is most likely from bacteria in his mouth (hence, the bleeding gums). If he is a rational person, you can share with him that people with bad dental hygiene are more likely to have heart failure. (This is documented.) Bacteria that grow in the mouth, when excessive, find their way into the blood stream and weaken the heart muscle. So if he doesn't want to be around in 10 years or so, then tell him to just keep on with the bad dental hygiene (I assume he doesn't floss or use germ-killing mouthwash).
how about you make appointments for both of you and go together? you could, of course, say its a shopping/restaurant/cinema trip and just kind of drop in to the dentist on your own behalf!
you can even go into the surgery with him and help him get over the fear.
if he's nervous then make sure the dentist knows, they are usually very kind and helpful people.
first of all, that's gross! ya need to put that homeboy in check...or bounce! can you actually stand to kiss him!? he's probably not believing you b/c you're his girlfriend. he may need to hear it from other peers or maybe family members. has his parents noticed it, in particular his mom? i think check-ups with the dentist are like twice a year, right? find him a dentist, make an appointment for him, and make him go! oh, and go buy some glade plug-ins until then. good luck, and tell stank-stank good luck too!
tell him if he wont go you will brake up with him that will work
Why doesn't he want to go to the dentist? Is it because of fear? Or just because he doesn't think he needs to go? I didn't like going to the dentist either - until I found one that does laser dentistry. Now I actually look forward to seeing him! My reason was fear of needles and pain. There are ways to treat dental issues without needles or pain, which makes it less fearful. His bad breath can also be attributed to other things that are not dental - but that's something his doctor and dentist would have to determine. I guess the best way to convince him is to stop sleeping in the same room and tell him that unless he gets help, no more kisses. That did it for my husband - he used to not like to brush his teeth as often as he should. I told him that not only was that gross because of the smell, but it's not healthy. He loves me enough that he has taken great steps to improve his health - and not just his dental health. But your guy shouldn't do it just for you - he should want to be healthy. Dental health is just as important to overall health as eating right and exercising.
tell him straight out to get it fixed or he will be spending all his time alone.
Let him know that the dentist has seen all types of things %26 that his problem will not shock the doctor. encourage him a he should do whats best.
eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww throw him in the car and take him there!!!!!!
dump him and become a dental hygenist..
Gums bleeding is often a sign of brushing too hard. As for the bad breath, that could very well be a mixture of eating bad and smoking. Make sure he brushes his tongue, as most of the bacteria that causes bad breath are located there. You should make an appointment for both of you and ask him to come along. Tell him you care enough about him to look out for his hygiene. If he understands he'll go.
I had a friend just like your boyfriend. Didn't believe that his breath was horrible! It took people avoiding him to make him get the picture! Perhaps you should just stop sleeping in the same room. Also, no kissing. Keep on telling him that you love him and want to be with him but you can't stand his breath. You should also inform him that there has been a direct link shown between gum disease (periodontal disease) and heart disease! Stress that you worry about his health... oral and physical. Also, mouth cancer is the 6th most common cancer and is usually caught during a routine dental exam.
hopefully u r not kissing him / just be blunt / either go to the dentist / or sleep in other room / no more from me / i am not trying to be funny / /BUT if the smell is that bad /how can u stand to be in same room/ if he does say he will go ./ go with him / i think he may be afraid of dentist / there is a dental disease /that causes gum and teeth bleeding / good luck
