I love Sheetz and was very disappointed to read this. Not everyone can help having dental issues. I’ve lost several teeth from medical conditions, not neglect. I really hope they revise the policy. I do agree good dental hygiene is important but not everyone can afford to go to the dentist.

Agree, not all dental issues are due to “not brushing” or being poor. Pregnancy can totally railroad your mouth, heart disease, certain medications, etc.

Not even that - it could just be bad genetics. I have a friend that chews, smokes, drinks soda, and only has a single filling. Meanwhile someone else who does none of those things and brushes religiously has multiple root canals. Shit happens!

Yeah I've been flossing and brushing at least twice a day since I was a kid (my pediatric dentist told me kids that don't take care of their teeth might bite into an apple and pull their teeth out by accident) and I've had several fillings and am probably due for a root canal soon since my filling that's been redone twice is sore. I don't smoke, no dip, no sodas, one cup of coffee a day, too
