I don't see what the problem is.

Next time you seem him, tell him this:
"I have to go to the dentist next week, agrrr I hate dentists! When was the last time you went to a dentist?"
And then you know what to do from there.

That's what I'm thinking...except that they haven't been and I'm curious as to why....and how they got sooo bad.
Did you not notice his teeth before the first date?

I'm afraid it would be a deal breaker and I wouldn't even be able to give gin the reason because I wouldn't want to embarrass him. Clearly if it bothered him he'd have got it fixed though don't you think?
I know I would have not let my own teeth get so bad. So I wonder if he has a medical condition, lack of funds, or just don't care.

I would be straight up about it
I would normally be straight up but I don't want to hurt his feelings or embarrass him....if it's a medical condition or something. If he just don't care to get them fixed then it wouldn't matter.

No I didn't. He's a nice looking guy with pics on his profile. I didn't notice there were closed mouth smiles in every pic until after the date. BUT!! on my profile I specifically made points about having teeth and good personal hygiene.

Awe I feel bad for the guy! I'm surprised he hasn't fixed his teeth though. I say go on a second date. Don't mention his teeth yet. Don't make him feel insecure. But definitely see how much you like him!

Lol I don't blame you, I have bad teeth myself. Nothing approaching bad hygiene or halitosis but just crooked and worn enamel. I think it boils down to the fact I went years without caring and, actually, some of those years were the most free. I would just wager a mental bet with myself as to how low I could sink on many levels. It was liberating.Then you find things to care about again and you start taking care of yourself once more. But dating is not going to be one of those things. It doesn't move you like that.
You killing me today man!!!
What is it my doomsday?
Don't you know about braces and stuff?
Are you from India? Wtf—
For me I wouldn't care much. There isn't anything a bottle of rum and a pack of 5 gum can't fix.

I'm talking about self-loathing. Interesting second date material imo.

Let me whisper in your year...
Either don't bring it up at all, or bring it up.
Gah. Teeth are important. I couldn't get past a quarter of a first date if they had bad teeth.

I feel bad for saying this but that is so fricking gross. I couldn't imagine eating after them let alone making out with them. Imagine how their mouth is if their teeth are that bad.For me, I would never ask about their dental hygiene but would just move on.
I mean, come on people... I don't care if you have horse teeth, cricked teeth... If you BRUSH them 3 times a day like you're SUPPOSED to, they will NOT look yellow or be rotten. THEY JUST WON'T. This is coming from someone who smokes cigarettes like a fricking maniac and STILL have white teeth. If a smoker can have white teeth then anyone can if they brush like they're supposed to.
Serious hygiene problem detected!
Have you ever kissed someone with metal braces? see this is going to be ackward. I think im going to hibernate for 24 months. Haha it is going to be really weird cause i kiss good now. But damn im nervous. Someone has to teach me.

Genetics play a big part in it.

Well we're fortunate enough to have the NHS over here so all children and up to higher education level get free dental care.

Yeah my mom give me her teeth and now she can help me 15 years later to get them. Mine will cost 3400-4400 for the next 3 years im 35. And i have to get jaw surgery which sucks because i could of got that head gear at 12 years old. But nope my brother got the braces before me.
And the orthodontic told me if I ever have kids when they hit 12 to take them in they can be passed on.
Well I have Patricia Arquette's teeth if you ever seen her smile. But at 38 ill have a perfectsmile and maybe start dating.

You would be surprised at the number of people that don't know how important it is to take care of their teeth. It's right up there with bad breath and men with long nasty nails. Keep it moving while you have nothing invested.

Its standard surely. No excuse for poor hygiene
Just text him this link... hope he will get the hint 😉
So what do you guys do when you meet a person you are really attracted to has crooked gapped teeth then blow them off. Months later you see them with straight pearly teeth, what do you do?
For me I could care less. Life isn't always about making out I mean sheesh. If you are that picky just go sit in a corner alone I guess. I don't connect to the body, but rather the soul and mind so it doesn't phase me whatsoever. The body means nothing. It's nothing more then pre dust.

I went on a date with a guy I met on a dating site. He seem to be a really nice guy, good manners, good grammar. The issue I have is with his teeth. It looked like he has them but they are very unhealthy and rotten looking, may even have some missing.
How do you go about broaching the subject of someone's dental hygiene without being offensive? My concern is whether it is bad hygiene or maybe he has a medical condition such as diabetes. Bad hygiene is a deal breaker for me.
