My boyfriends oldest is complaining of tooth pain again. She's had dental issues in the past and I do know atleast one tooth was really and hadn't at the time been fixed. The kids have state run children's insurance so getting it fixed shouldn't be a problem. She says her mom knows but I don't know why something hasn't already been done.

In the past if my boyfriend made an appointment his ex would cancel it and then spend weeks chewing him out over it. If she felt she had to she'd make a new one when she wanted but he shouldn't have to plan to take a day off from work to take them for her to do it.

One other thing is that the girl told me again she hasn't brushed her teeth in a long time. This is very consistent where we don't think the kids brush their teeth at their mom's. We remind them to do it here and it's not a fight but they are with their mom the majority of the time. They are still young enough that we just tell them to do it and they will but they don't just do it on their own.
