  The irony being that healthy teeth don’t look anywhere near that white.

    Modern beauty standards have very little in common with health, or nature.

      Seriously, look at the beauty standards and treatments of the Victorian era.

      Women would squeeze citric acid in their eyes because they believe it cleaned them and whitened them, and the burning sensation was just the germs being cleaned.

        This is how I’ve always felt about hydrogen peroxide, even though people now say it does more harm than good? So I guess I get it.

  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?

      • adespoton@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Not painted or bleached… just its natural “off-white”.

  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 expense either.

    I wanna know where you’re getting your dental insurance because this is 1000% not the case for me.

      Try Jake’s Dental Insurance. Highly affordable .

        It’s crazy that you need dedicated dental insurance.

    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.
