lavrentis Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 Which parts of Leicester? Doesn't Leicester have an unusual proportion of social housing?

Guest MattP Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 Another wonderful badge of honour for this City, thank god we've got a good football team at the minute.
cambridgefox Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 When me and my mate came to Leicester for the weekend (kasabian,)we stumbled across the Royal Standard in town,spit and sawdust but got the locals buying us beer and vice versa,however we did note the amount of gap toothed simpletons .

Actually one of my fave city centre boozers, racing on all day, cheap and a great place to watch the World go by and talk to some locals. Charles Street really needs some work though, it's an absolute dump now.
LCFC Rennie Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 I'm 19 and have never had a filling or anything to my teeth. It's the parents fault if you ask me.
Buce Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 I'm 19 and have never had a filling or anything to my teeth. It's the parents fault if you ask me. Mrs Buce has a colleague whose 9 yr old has already had the majority of her teeth removed. She (the child) drinks nothing but Coke, and doesn't clean her teeth. Her mother's attitude is that she's told her what the consequences will be, and if she chooses not to listen, that's her business. She (the mother) is a nurse.

Strokes Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 In all fairness the education provided on this is appalling, can anyone tell me at what age a child should brush their own teeth? Also we were told by a health visitor to let the kids keep a drink of milk with them overnight as this is good for their teeth. My dentist completely dismissed it. Kids get routinly checked by dr up until they start school, the dentist trips should also be done this way.

That little girl will regret it when she is a teenager.

I think the age thing depends on the child: I had my daughter cleaning her own teeth by the time she was five, but not without supervision. Interesting fact about milk: if your child has a tooth knocked out, placing it in milk will keep the root 'alive' until you can get to an emergency dentist, where it can successfully be re-planted.
Illusion35 Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 I still clean my 6 year olds teeth, no way would she do it properly on her own. My 11 year old does his own but I check every now and again. Neither have any tooth decay at all.
DennisNedry Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 21 years old. Had 3 or 4 fillings. Had one tooth out when a filling came out and I (fearing getting in trouble) tried to stick it back in! It got infected badly so had that out. Had another 2 teeth out when I had braces fitted because the front rows were crowded.
Phube Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 Errr... you brush your babies teeth the second they pop through (if not before to get the kid used to it!). As above we still supervise/brush our 5 year old's teeth twice a day.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 30 September 2014 Posted 30 September 2014 Bradford was third in the list so maybe it has something with the South Asian population diet or oral hygiene customs.
Raj Posted 1 October 2014 Posted 1 October 2014 Bradford was third in the list so maybe it has something with the South Asian population diet or oral hygiene customs. 44 years old No fillings.
Raj Posted 1 October 2014 Posted 1 October 2014 Upto the parents im afraid. Our little un already walks around pretending to do brush his teeth and hes just over 1. Thats cos he sees his sister,who's 6 brush day and night no matter what(i do watch her do it as im on the bog!!!!) The example above of the nurse who has told her kid the consequences and let her carry on is just absurd and would border on neglect i'd say.
Rob1742 Posted 1 October 2014 Posted 1 October 2014 When I go to the football I will know you lot then just by looking at you. The ones with the big smiles and shiny white teeth. I think it is something to do with Leicester being a shit hole and also a lot of its population being on the brink of poverty. Quite scary walking around Leicester in any place other than the Highcross. Dentistry is quite expensive and probably last on many of the Leicester populations list. If you ever needed an implant, we do have an amazing dentist in Leicesteshire who carries this procedure out perfectly.
