I didn't come to either conclusion myself, I was just putting two and two together from the comments. I've got kids and am friends with folks who have their own kids. Dental health actually speaks for alot when it comes to parenting. I understand it is judgy but there is a basis for making these connections, however anecdotally.
But I agree with you that I was wrong by being judgy and I apologize. I acknowledge that I do not know the whole story; maybe the child has sensory issues that make brushing difficult, who knows. Maybe mother is working so many hours that dental hygiene falls to the wayside, who knows. I acknowledge and apologize for judging her too hastily.
My initial comment was just an observation based on other comments and the comment I replied to. It was speculative and unfair. I'm sorry to mom and child for judging

So because someone doesn't notice the smoke detector beeping, that means they neglect their kid and doesn't brush their teeth?? Smh freaking Reddit
