marie55567 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm seeing a new guy for the past two weeks. I have periodontal disease(gum disease) that I found out a few months back and received treatment for it that ended up costing me over $2000 in dental bills because the office didn't accept my insurance and I'm still trying to pay back all those bills. I still have to go for treatment and I ended up finding an office that accepts my insurance. I haven't told the new guy yet and I'm scared how he may be turned off by it. Do I tell him or keep it a secret until later on?
d0nnivain Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Why on earth do you think that discussing your medical conditions & finances with a stranger is a good idea? At the very least neither of these subjects is romantic early dating topics. I would not tell him anything. It's none of his business. Do you also intend to discuss when you stopped wetting the bed? or how you felt when you got your 1st period? While being honest & straight forward in a relationship is good, oversharing is bad. 2
mightycpa Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Before you kiss him! From perio.org Research has shown that periodontal disease is caused by the inflammatory reaction to bacteria under the gums, so periodontal disease technically may not be contagious. However, the bacteria that cause the inflammatory reaction can be spread through saliva. This means that if one of your family members DATES has periodontal disease, it’s a good idea to avoid contact with their saliva by not sharing eating utensils or oral health equipment. If you notice that your spouse or a family member DATE has the warning signs of a possible periodontal problem (bleeding, red and swollen gums, or bad breath) you may want to suggest that they see the periodontist for an exam. It may help to protect the oral health of everyone in the family involved.I think a nice BJ might make up for it until you're good to go. 4

Gaeta Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Lol. I know it isn't contiguous and whatnot. So why do you feel you have to tell him something like that? 1
seekingpeaceinlove Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You don't need to tell him. It's none of his business. Continue to take care of your gums& teeth following treatment and you'll get those gums in tiptop shape in no time. You don't need to tel him anything about it. 1
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Don't say anything until you get closer to exclusivity. Just focus on taking care of yourself!
Author marie55567 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 So why do you feel you have to tell him something like that? I knew I don't need to but I wasn't sure. I wanted to hear other's opinion about it.
CrystalShine2011 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I wouldn't mention it unless it can effect him in a medical way, if not, none of his beeswax. 1
No Limit Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Anything that isn't contagious (and that doesn't make itself known through weird smell etc) doesn't really matter. 1
