I might be overthinking this because I'm a dental hygiene nut, but I'm really concerned about Ben's teeth. He probably hasn't been to a dentist in five or six years. I asked him last night when the last time was, and he just said, "I have no idea" and left the room, so I can tell he didn't really want to talk about it. And I don't want to feel like his mother or something, scolding him or trying to make him accountable for his oral health.
But I feel like my concerns are legit. If he can't remember the last time he's been to a dentist, I can only imagine what's going on in there... his teeth don't outwardly appear to be gross or anything, but he does drink a lot of soda (Mountain Dew especially). And I know that oral health can have a big impact on the health of the entire body. He does have dental benefits through his job, and I guess I don't know how good the benefits are but if you have those benefits, shouldn't you use them?
How would you bring it up? What would you say?
