Is not having perfect teeth a turnoff?

With this, I don't mean someone who has a mouth full of rotten teeth, but someone who simply a chipped tooth, a crooked one, or slightly not-pearly whites.

To be honest I think that unless someone is a model or actor, it's okay to not have 100% perfect teeth, as long as they are healthy and taken care of.

This girl in my office was complaining she chipped a tooth while eating, so I checked her mouth out with the phone light to confirm it for her, and I told her everything else looked fine, though I noticed a number of dental fillings. She was like "Sorry I don't have perfect teeth like you" which I replied she has in fact better teeth than me, since mine are implants because I never really took care of them in my teens.

When I was using dating sites in 2015, I saw a girl who was very cute in her pictures. I wasn't sure that we would be a good match but I decided to give it a chance. We met for a coffee date and we she opened her mouth, I saw what had not been visible in her online photos:

Obviously, this is not a photo of HER mouth, but it is similar to what I saw. The idea of kissing her made me feel nauseous!

Missing teeth would probably bother me greatly, but less than perfect teeth would be okay.

Yes. (I'm just being honest.)

It can be cute, though, if it's subtle.

As long as his mouth is clean, a crooked tooth or two are not a big deal.

A missing tooth is a bit cringe, but that can easily be fixed with a bridge.

A beautiful smile though... Is definitely 🔥!

Thank you for the MHO ❤

It's totally okay not to have perfect teeth! Most people don't have movie-star teeth, and I believe that character and confidence shine brighter than perfection 😊. Healthy and well-cared-for teeth are what truly matter. Your reassurance to your colleague was spot on, and embracing our personal quirks makes us unique and relatable. Confidence is key, after all!

Of course not. And sometimes they can give her character. Like say Jewel and Kirsten Dunst. They both got that single fang. It's adorable.
