My boyfriend has gross teeth?

Anonymous
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year. He has braces, and his teeth are turning brown/black in the front and they are covered in plaque. I don't understand how his teeth got so bad, because he brushes his teeth everyday. He hasn't been to the dentist in 3 years. I mentioned to him that he needs to go to the dentist, and he says he has to wait a few months until his mom gets the money so he can go (they don't have dental insurance).

I take pride in my teeth and dental hygiene, it's very important to me. I can't imagine breaking up with him for something so petty, but it grosses me out and I don't like kissing him anymore. I have tried to help clean his teeth, but the plaque is too stuck on his teeth. Am I wrong for feeling this way? I would do whatever I had to do to help him get his teeth cleaned.
