Maybe we just have to take better care of our teeth so that they maintain their original color and don't get yellowish.<br /><a href="http://alluringsmileaz.livejournal.com/1146.html" rel="nofollow">Javier Portocarrero</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384084353612634517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-63849695368263796732014-01-30T13:51:43.883+00:002014-01-30T13:51:43.883+00:00Wow.

The idea of implants or braces, or constantly having them whitened is horrific. My mum and dad both had false teeth for as far back as I can remember. I never saw either of them without their teeth. They never popped them in a glass at night. So I think, for me, that's the way to go.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938216505505274248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-6127683872702588202013-07-11T10:05:36.914+01:002013-07-11T10:05:36.914+01:00You should see that particular videoclip Frances; ...You should see that particular videoclip Frances; just looking up the character in general won't bring any enlightenment.

OK, admittedly, the natural colour of my hair is not brown anymore, either, and yet I still keep it brown, for no other reason than my own vanity.<br />But isn't whitening one's teeth doing something to the surface of the teeth that is not exactly good for them? I don't know anything about the process, really, but seem to remember having read something... somewhere. Oh well.<br />Frances, I don't think people like other people any more because they've had their teeth whitened, or any less because they haven't. Maybe it's just that eternal strive to be "perfect".Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-82152764265944755912013-07-09T20:38:58.988+01:002013-07-09T20:38:58.988+01:00I have just one thing to say: Ross Geller!

When I was around 64 my NZ family suggested that my teeth were pretty good but some whitening would help my appearance. As a red wine drinker there was no way over-whitening could occur anyway (in NZ and the UK - I can't speak for the US - false teeth are, by the way, very rarely over-white because they are usually given a more 'natural' look commensurate with the age of the recipient). So my NZ dentist (aka my NZ family!) made the necessary thingies that you put over your teeth and after the initial tests I went my merry way and have kept my teeth whiter ever since with occasional top ups (or is it tops up?). OK I didn't have huge dental fees to pay but once the initial moulds have been made the ongoings costs can be very modest. It's doing cosmetic work that pays for the dentist to have rather better wine than he might otherwise have. As an aside I have always remembered a comment by someone I met after the work had been done who remarked that I was fortunate to have such lovely teeth. I think It's the only complimentary remark I've ever had about one of my natural features. Actually that's not quite true. I was once told (in public) that I had a nice bum but I think that was just done to see if I'd get embarrassed. I didn't!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-34495801692615016962013-07-09T18:43:01.223+01:002013-07-09T18:43:01.223+01:00I often look at the teeth of my generation compare...I often look at the teeth of my generation compared to the perfect symmetrical white teeth of my children's generation and the conclusion I come to is that my friends' teeth (and mine) may not be perfect but they add individual character to that person. My dentist wants to remove the white spots on my front teeth but I think that these are a part of 'me'. It hasn't bothered me for 50 years so why should it be now.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-23569061926813514542013-07-09T17:40:42.206+01:002013-07-09T17:40:42.206+01:00Best plan is to ALWAYS be drinking red wine and bl...
