Frighteningly White Teeth.

Chuck Stone

Do you know anyone who has outrageously white teeth?

I remember, this one time, being stopped by a guy at a bus stop with an American accent who asked me about the destination of the bus.

I'm not sure what exactly the question was because I was fixated on his shockingly white teeth that looked like bleached clothes under a UV light.

In fact I actually ducked when he opened his mouth as I thought he was trying to stun me with his beaming white teeth.

I just mumbled that the bus ended up in County Terminus or something and walked quickly away with flashed eyes from the assault.

So how come we have normal yella teeth and Americans have mad glowing white ones?

TELL ME.

The Osmonds!
Yanks insist on bleaching them to death.

White teeth are lovely to look at Over bleached teeth though look weird like poor Ross here

Not sure why Americans are obsessed with teeth.

I suppose they think that having unbelievably straight, white teeth will take the focus off how fat they are.

Never works, though. You can always tell.

Sure, they're the fat ones, Mr. Tesco.

Dental work is very cheap in the US, and dentist practices are as common starbucks, nearly on every street corner, every shopping centre has three or four of them. Why not have brilliant white gloss teeth.

Why not just use brilliant white gloss to paint them! :pac:

A brush with death!

no it's not, just most insurance plans have a dental package which nearly everyone uses. if you have to pay for treatment it's much more expensive than here.

I laughed at that ... Yes, I'm a big Corrie fan

He looks fvcking stupid with them, or more stupider than he did.

My daughter has crazy white teeth, but like most 16 year olds she'd spend hours looking a million dollars.

RGDATA!

also it is the exception rather than a rule to have a dental plan where you don't have to pay anything out of pocket.
even with insurance over there it probably averages out more expensive than having the same procedures done without insurance in ireland.

One of my friends has the "Ross" teeth look going on. Pretty weird.

I've very white straight teeth and people are always asking if i got veneers. If they saw how obsessed i am about brushing them they'd see why they're so white. I have a thing for teeth tbh and if someone has bad teeth it really turns me off.

That's 'cause she's black. Black peoples teeth always look crazy white 'cause of the contrast.

What? It's true.

That phenomenon comes in handy. I remember once going towards the only taxi parked at a taxi rank on a dark night and thinking there was no-one in it. That was until the Nigerian driver smiled, so I saw it was available and got home safely.

True story.

It just makes her horrible teeth stand out even more.

Its like all those deals on City Deals for teeth whitening. You can tell all the people who have had it done but if they have horrible teeth to begin with it just makes them stand out even more.

very true.
have told a few people to go out and enjoy the sunshine when they couldn't get bleaching done.

Youtube search for:

'Street dentist'

makes for fascinating viewing I assure y'all but it's not for the squeamish with a belly full of Beamish.

TBH - I find yellow teeth revolting. Even mildly yellow. Your teeth should be white and clean.

Oh the delicious ironing, what goes around eventually comes back around.

In Ireland, up until the late 1960's it was common practise for most women on their 21st birthday to have what in the dental profession was called a 'full clearance', i.e. all their teeth taken out and have perfectly straight removable dentures (false teeth) fitted.

I think time will tell what the long term effect of bleaching will have on teeth. Even with veneering, there's a lot of horror stories from the UK of maverick dentists not fixing underlying problems and just applying veneers.

I've read(from my zero knowledge of dentistry) that all this whitening stuff that these clinics offer actually damage the enamel on your teeth, that is leaves them open to infection and weaker after whitening. Any truth in that? And no, I have never got whitening done before

Yup it takes the coating off your teeth so in the end if you drink tea/coffee/coke/ or smoke they're just gonna be worse and a lot harder to get the stains off.

I'm very vain plus I smoke, I'm using a specialized whitening toothpaste at the moment that keeps them looking presentable but not perfect.:(

I just have normal non-crooked teeth with a natural teeth colour. Think I might buy that toothpaste the lads are on about above as I'd like 'em to be a shade or two lighter.

Nah this stuff is awesome! Has kinda grainy stuff on it to totally scrub your teeth and after a month of using it my teeth are paper white. Its oral b pro and its the whitening one. There are a few of the pro ones so make sure you check.

/but not in the "ross" way.

It has to be the new pro one, not the old oral b one. Thats why its going cheap.

dee.

Myself! ...well, sometimes. I like to keep my teeth looking white but for a few weeks (well, a month or two) after getting them whitened it looks a bit unnatural, that combined with a bit of dark makeup/fake tan makes them look like they're glowing in a bad way.
That said, i'd rather have OTT glow in the dark white teeth than yellow ones. Just hate yellow teeth!
