Installing Indoor Cat Tree

Did anyone else notice the teeth owned by a girl called Katie from Sheffield.

 

Without wishing to be unkind, I was flabbergasted to see a set of teeth in that state on a 24year old, or on anyone for that matter, in the UK in 2007!

 

She had a mouth full of blackened and decayed stumps.

 

A pity, as she could sing.

[susanbb]

I thought exactly the same. Mind you her boyfriend seemed to have the same problem.

I know - wasn't it awful.

I found that I couldn''t stop looking at them

[rachel19]

Yes I saw that too - it was awful! It really affected her singing too - she'd have been so much better if she got them sorted out. It must be so bad for your general health to have such bad teeth too

[Cinnamon]

I thought how nice it would have been for Simon to give her the money to get them sorted then ask her to come back next year, with all the mix up of her getting through then not getting through...............

 

She had a nasty tounge stud too, which made her sound even more lispy

[craftyhunnypie]

Was that the 5 months pregnant girl? Yes she could sing, but her teeth like that, just made her bad. Shocking teeth!

 

That Kimberley girl was absolutely nuts! A bit like Nicky from Big brother last year....I'm sooooooo cold!

 

We liked the old romantic couple!!!!!!

The old couple were lovely! And how mean of Louis to not put the old chap through saying 'there was no point'!

Teeth - maybe she can't get a dentist? My parents have just moved from Surrey down to Dorset and said that the waiting list for a dentist is over 1,000 people long! It would be easier to have them all taken out than wait for a filling!

[craftyhunnypie]

Me & hubby looked for a D.I.Y dentistry kit on ebay lately! We fancy doing our own plaque s"Ooops, word censored!"ing & fillings. As when you go the dentist they poke around too much and next time you need loads of treatment!

 

We thought about using that 2 part resin stuff!!!!

Teeth - maybe she can't get a dentist?

 

It looked like YEARS of neglect to me, & the 2 front ones were smashed too

No excuse,I am afraid

[chelsea]

You obviously havent watched Jeremy Kyle Eglutine!!

 

When you have a free moment and you wish to waste sometime watching it one morning - take note - they all have BAD teeth on there.

 

I couldnt stop looking at the Xfactor woman's teeth either. I agree in this day and age, no-ones teeth should be in that state. Her boyfriend were the same.

If she is pregnant, then the Dentist will be free for her. Perhaps she didn't know. So, did she get through? I must have popped to the loo at that point as I saw Kimberley and the lovely pensioners.......

...Even a set of those billy bob joke teeth would have been an improvement!

I didn't see it but maybe it was down to drink / drugs?

or chewing tobacco?

[Sheilaz]

Just to say that I've edited references which may be stereotyping one group of people, that's how prejudices start, and the topic reads just as well without it.

 

Also, some people end up with rotten teeth because of illness, directly or indirectly. How can we judge someone without knowing their life story which may be so much harder than our own?

 

NHS dentistry is not easily available to everyone and it's not free apart from exemptions.

 

We know people who had teeth removed free at the hospital rather than pay to have them treated as they simply could not afford it.

[Mrs Frugal]

Very true, Sheila. She may have a phobia of dentists, for all we know too. I couldn't go for 12 years for terror of sitting in the chair.

[Shirl]

My OH didn't go for 20 years. When he eventually did he had to have 9 teeth removed . Mind you from looking at him they looked fine.

[Egluntyne]

I hope the people attending to her ante natal care refer her to the Dental Hospital.

 

A mouth like that can lead to cardiac problems, which is the last thing she needs whilst pregnant.

[foreveryoung]

i was totally shocked! i thought ah she pretty but then saw the mess and thought OMG! if it was they were mine id be disgusted!

[kitbag]

I have really bad teeth - i felt a bit sorry for her!!! unlike her, i try and keep them clean!!

Good for you kitbag and good luck with it.

 

I've been pondering about this poor girl ever since I started the thread....and felt a bit guilty in a way as apparently later some words had to be moderated out. I didn't see them.

 

It occurs to me that someone with teeth like hers maybe didn't have the best nutrition and care as a youngster, and perhaps didn't have someone in her life to take charge or offer support.

 

There used to be a school dental service which would have addressed matters, and that mouth was the result of years of neglect, not just a few missed brushings.

 

I'm sure she will be referred now, but I'm not sure what they can do at the stage she's at.

 

It has been the one topic of conversation at work today. Still I suppose it shifted the focus off other matters.

[Popcorn]

Topics like this always bring out the best and worst in people. The good thing is that the odd comment can make someone stop and think and maybe change they way they view the world and the people in it. Non of us are perfect are we?

 

Well...some of us are

[craftyhunnypie]

They were my words that were moderated!

But I did think she was was I wrote!

I agreee forums bring out the worse & good in people, but that is what forums are for - all different views & opinions!

I stopped going on a forum who I used to work for, as it became very very biased about all the good things the company did & offered. They did not tell the truth about the real world!

My teeth aren't perfect as I wasn't over zealous brushing them as a boy!

 

Can't brush too hard now or they fall out!

 

I exaggerate a little. I am sure the dentist tries to break mine so he can charge me to repair them!

 

My wisdom teeth didn't break through properly either and are difficult to clean as a result are going bad. Will have to go to hospital to get them out eventually which probably involves removing my jaw or something

 

I didn't see the show I think it's a bit rotten to put her in and then take her out. What did she sing 'The Hokey Cokey'

 

I don't think nice teeth are important to a singer look at shane McGowan from the Pogues, he did alright and he can't sing to well either!
