My mom has bad teeth and though I keep telling her that she should do something about them she keeps putting of saying that she does not want to toss  her money at a dentist that is going to charge her an arm and leg to fix a few teeth that do not even hurt her.

I think she just afraid of the going to the dentist but I am not sure about that.  She always taught use to take good care of our teeth when we were growing up took us to the dentist twice a year.  I do not understand why she does not take care of her own teeth.

Then one of my friend told me that bad teeth can cause you to have heart problems and even give you a heart attack.  Is this true?  If it is I want to tell my mom so maybe she do more about her teeth.
