Fizzzzle Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Mine aren't. It's always been a point of insecurity for me. I've kind of learned that most people don't give a shit, but I still think about it. I've been smoking the last few years, which doesn't help, but they've always been slightly yellowish. I tried going through a round of whitening last year and it completely fucked my enamel, I had to stop halfway through. I don't drink coffee, I brush and floss every day, my teeth have just never been white. If you look at pictures of me from high school, my teeth weren't white even then. My dad is the same way. My mom had white teeth when she was younger, but decades of cigarettes and drinking 5 cups of coffee a day changed that. I'm planning on getting veneers at some point, anyway, so it's whatever. But my teeth just... Aren't white, no matter what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way I get the whitening without the enamel damage. They do have whitening for sensitive teeth that is easier on the enamel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I would say my teeth are a normal white. Not the whitest since I don't bother with any whitening products. But I've dealt with mouth insecurities since I was 16 years old. That was about the time my jaw went a little wacky. Started to develop a slightly crooked underbite. Nobody can ever tell because I've kind of learned how to smile while using my jaw muscles to hold it back. When I go to the dentist, they are like "you really do have 2 bites". Never had the surgery to fix it yet. Had a whole 3D model of my jaw made when I was 17. Parents didn't go through with it because there was a chance the insurance wouldn't cover it saying it was "cosmetic". The specialist said with enough written letters the insurance would "probably" cover it. Didn't want to take a chance on a supposedly $50,000 surgery. It would be also be wired shut for weeks. Its one of those little things that nags me every day, I imagine the same way you feel about the color. I always tell people if I get in a car accident or a fight I'm going chin first into the airbag/punch Or if I hit the lottery I'll take a month off and get it fixed.

Bacon Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 No. My teeth are fucked. Lost a sliver of tooth the other day to a Dorito. Need tens of thousands of dollars worth of work if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 They’re a dull white. Like, they aren’t movie star white, but not really discolored either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I used to get a lot of compliments on how white my teeth were, and then I started drinking coffee. I think they're probably not as standout white as they were before, but overall pretty stain-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I guess just normal white. I don't use any whitening products. They're not discolored. I've definitely gotten compliments on my teeth, but they're really straight since I had braces as a teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I think more of an off-white than a pearly white. I find teeth that are too white to be kind of off-putting. Not like "oh gross" or anything, just reminds me of news anchors or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
