Not so white lie

By mintyfresh - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to lie to my dentist about how often I brush my teeth. I honestly don't remember the last time I did. FML

That is actually disgusting. Also, of course YDI. Yuck.

That's really, really gross. My five year old sister knows to brush her teeth every day. That's just ridiculous, and completely unhygienic of you, OP. Dental health equates to overall health, you really should work on the whole dental hygiene thing.

"Today, I realized I am utterly disgusting... FML." How about... YDI.

that's so gross I bet people dont try to talk to you cuz of ur breath. Honestly my dogs teeth are probably clearer then urs.

Don't get me wrong, its pretty bad in today's day and age not to brush your teeth, but seriously people, a toothbrush and toothpaste are not parts of our evolutionary biology. People survived for thousands of years sans toothbrush and toothpaste. That being said, please keep at least a few meters away from me.

#29 - to be fair, people also lived for thousands of years sans many of their teeth. Hoping this one is fake. :(

Actually, NOT REALLY! Archeological discoveries strongly suggest that cavemen used salt for cleaning teeth (pretty effective, btw, bonus is a mild whitening effect), this many millennia ago. That with the Middle ages people forgot hygiene is another thing altogether.

It was with the advent of grains heavily introduced in the human diet that tooth problems became rampant. Uni of York in the UK actually does a small course on dietary evolution and how it affected humans overall.

@21 and 25, so your pets brush their teeth, do they? Not sticking up for the OP though, that's just plain nasty and a YDI if ever I saw one.

Well I have pets and I brush their teeth about once a week...

Same here #37! Don't want them to get calculus :)

exena, Putting any pets in a math class is cruel. Trying to teach them calculus will have PETA and the SPCA right up your ass in no time!

Hahaha. You have been very entertaining lately. Pretty funny comment.

You're supposed to brush your dog's teeth. Otherwise they can get build-up and it can lead to dental problems, just like with humans.

I hope you didn't write that FML looking for sympathy....
