why do most celebrities/influencers & some normal people have those fake-looking teeth?
So many adverts made by 'western' companies, especially anything related to toothpaste/other dental stuff, have the presenter smile with some uniform, white flat teeth. I feel like they look sort of uncanny, they just seem off-putting to me. Most people have decently flat teeth but they aren't that fake-looking white. I have pointy canines/pre molars that definitely look completely different to the 'perfect teeth'.
You're viewing a single thread.
In the US I think it's (conventionally) considered attractive because most people can't afford even decent dental care. So if you have good teeth it's sort of a sign of wealth, if that makes any sense.
The irony being that healthy teeth don't look anywhere near that white.
Even so, some people take it way too far with things like veneers. & to be honest, as long as they're mostly straight, natural teeth don't even look that bad. In my opinion it's definitely better than the so-called 'perfect teeth'
“Perfect teeth” to me look an awful lot like bad dentures.
Give me a nude tooth any day.
"nude tooth"
What?
Not painted or bleached… just its natural “off-white”.
Better yet, I can give you coffee stained!
...okay then.
Not gonna lie: I would've never gotten that from "nude tooth". But I guess I'll just chock this up to another instance in the long line of things in life I didn't know. :)
Eh, dental care insurance is some of the cheapest insurance out there in the US. It’s easily affordable if you’re working full time. Whitening isn’t that expensive either.
I wanna know where you're getting your dental insurance because this is 1000% not the case for me.
Yeah, and even with dental insurance, dental procedures are still expensive as fuck.
It's really weird to make a blanket statement like that because different people have very different salaries and expenses. Especially in reference to the US where these things heavily depend on the state a person resides in.
I’ll admit it’s based on my limited experience. And I have zero union benefit experience.
Can confirm, my teeth hurt
By bottom row of teeth are super crowded in the front. One little bastard in particular overlaps another tooth just a tiny bit, which leads to some really annoying pain that i can't really do anything about.
I also had a couple teeth grow in almost sideways but they don't cause any pain as much as they just look ugly. I also can't show my teeth when I smile, but idk if that has to do with my teeth or my mouth.
