"Arguably the quest for a nice-looking smile came out of France in the 18th century,” says Rachel Bairsto of the British Dental Association Museum.


It's bizarre.

Yeah, I'm a little sick of the incessant ads for tooth whiteners.

Almost as bad as the never-ending pHARMa ads.

I try to keep my teeth healthy, but have no desire to light up like a neon sign when I smile. Ugh.

Proctor and Gamble brainwashed us and our mothers with generations of soap opera ads for toothpaste and mouthwash I suppose.

No, it's one of the American clichés they suddenly blurt with on here when losing an argument. Bizarre. Do you think it's down to the likes of low IQ, vanity, low self esteem etc..

Those with vanity and low esteem issues.

Right? Same with weight. Cleft lip. Scars across their face. Black eyes. Walking limps. etc etc etc.
You are just acting like it isnt a big deal because yall are known for crappy teeth. Same way with our society trying to normalize obesity.

But the whole point of the thread is, why are Yanks obsessed with fake teeth? What is mentally up with you all? Nothing to do with the Brits, it's you cranks that mouth froth the teeth cliché. When we look at photos of Americans, we have to wear sunglasses.

They ******* look better than yellow crooked teeth, knobhead. Jesus ******* christ.

Your vanity and self esteem issues are off the scale. Thank you for confirmation.

As kids, we get braces paid for by the government to straighten teeth, and we spend more on dental hygiene. You guys get such things as laminates glued on because you're vulnerable.

If you read the link knob jockey, you would realise teeth are not naturally white through your life, they're only brilliant white all your life in America because they're like your personality, fake.

I had an acquaintance who was a dental lab technician who had his own business making porcelain dental crowns and bridges, and he ran into some technology that threw him for a loop. He made an extensive bridge which gave his client six beautiful, new, white front teeth. He decided to celebrate by going to see her new smile at work. She was a stripper.

All was going well until the lighting changed to black light and, OOPS!!!!! One big glowing purple smile and my friend hit the door.

Something in the material he used to create the bridge, which he'd never worked with before.
