1. Difficult to afford.
2. Probably wasn't taught about oral hygiene.
3. May be anxious about going to the dentist.

I'm concerned the problem is just going to get worse for this person and limit life opportunities. Early 30s now. Is there a way to offer to help them go to, like, sedation dentistry or something without offending/embarrassing this person to the point where the offer is outweighed by the audacity to butt in where I don't belong? And by offer to help, I mean I'd pay for them to get this taken care of.
Have you considered investing in a nitrous tank and some pliers?

Maybe a decent chair and some bungee cords too.
