Are you happy with your teeth?

Question

Do you have them professionally whitened, or are you happy with the way they are?

Do you ever feel like you need work on them, or they are not what you'd hoped they'd turn out like?

Do you think its natural and healthy to have teeth whitened to a brilliant white?
Personally I don't like very white teeth, there is something unnatural about them. It seems to be an obsession in America.

I don't whiten my teeth and I feel they are just fine, they are a slightly yellow white which is the natural and healthy colour for teeth.
My oral regime is to brush normally twice a day and floss once a day, and once a week I brush with activated charcoal to keep the coffee and red wine stains down.

I'm pretty happy with mine, how about you?

my goodness, the detail section should have come with a trigger warning given the first picture displayed as an example of ones teeth, yuck.

With that said, as someone who has constantly been teased as a kid for having crooked and overcrowded teeth by family and strangers etc. And had to go out of my way to educate myself about oral health and dental insurance due to parental ignorance in that realm. I was able to finally get braces when I was 18 and then had to get it again in my mid 20s due to being lazy about keeping my retainers in the first time as advised. So now that I had to pay for them a second time. I am now happy with my smile and feel the last thing I will need done in order to feel completely confident in my smile is to get them whitened. I dont want them to be Hollywood white but close to it if I can.

Mine came in naturally straight and perfect. At 21 my denial about wisdom teeth was real. The horror stories had me pushing off the dental consult for three months of pain. All four of mine had come in with tops facing forward. That time started the shifting which went on after the surgery.
Also have a jaw injury from a car accident as a kid, the dentist has same injury, ironically, and said leave it or fix the jaw first. I left the slight crowding. Not worth all that work.

No. I come from a family that always had bad teeth, and mine were a crooked mess. What's worse, there was a stretch of time where I didn't take good care of them, and ended up with a mouth full of cavities. Later, I wised up, got the cavities fixed, and took much better care of them. I got some orthodontic work done, which made them look a little better, and then got involved in a head-on car crash (not my fault). Three of my teeth were knocked out, and my jaw was broken in four places. Oh well, so much for the orthodontic work. My teeth look like shit, but I haven't had a new cavity in decades, only old problems from long ago.

Ironically I just went to the dentist yesterday.
yeah I’m fine with my teeth. I’m always told by every dentist they are very hard and in great shape. No cavities either. Only flaw was I painfully needed my wisdom teeth taken out.
i do not need or have them whitened. Sometimes I’d like them a little more white though! So does activated charcoal do the trick?

melanieeeB · Answer

They're good, but like I did get work done on my teeth cause I broke my two fronts as a child and corrected them later and I have to do a follow up soon, so I will also treat and clean them professionally and maybe a little tiny bit bleach once but I don't like the paper white teeth shit.
Like you said it's not that natural

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

They aren't bad. After my next dentist visit, it will be better.

I only care about clean teeth and symmetry... I'm fine with spaces once the space is centered or symetrical... I don't have any rider ( one lower tooth fixed years ago) so.

I actually specifically like fangs so I wouldn't shave my teeth.

Sonorous · Answer

My teeth don't look bad. I brush & floss everyday but I didn't always do that. Especially when I was depressed 🤣 So they're just not as white as some might prefer.

But if I whiten them, I'd wanna do it in a healthy way. I'll probably look into it when I get roasted badly enough.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I keep them clean.
But accept that right from the start they weren't of the best quality, and that with age changes in colour do occur; and that the get lost here or there.

The American style teeth craze is something I feel too smart to join in.
When we tend to say that 'doctors' are drug dealers',
then I will add: 'dentists are failed car polishers'.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nah I need braces and haven't gotten them yet. Still have like 3-4 cavities that I refused to get filled cause I've never had that done before and I'm nervous about it.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Happy enough. I had braces once. I made the mistake of stopping wearing my retainer and they shifted some since. No way am I paying what it'd cost now to have them straightened perfectly again. If you want perfection you don't want to know me anways. Lol

jennifer_bloom · Answer

My teeth are acceptable, they do not look like a movie stars teeth but my weight loss materials make my teeth yellow. I will just buy a teeth whitener when I’m done the first phase of my diet to resolve it. No big deal.

Cherry234 · Answer

I'm okay with them. I'm at least glad they're not crooked. I started getting braces when I was either in elementary school or middle school and now my teeth are somewhat straight.

lrina · Answer

i want my teeth to be whitened when i'm old enough, but if i don't get them whitened that won't bother me much either. but yeah, i'd say i'm pretty happy with my teeth.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

My teeth are very straight but not pearly white. I'm content with them. I tend to brush and floss 2-3 times a day although they're a bit stained (maybe because I love black coffee).

Slartybartfast · Answer

I am fortunate to have really nice teeth, I'm pretty good about brushing and flossing regularly and other than a wisdom tooth I had removed I have all of them.

My entire family had poor teeth. Both parents had dentures. My sister had the best teeth and still needed a lot of work. I have lost several teeth and have bridges to replace them.
