The "beauty" of the teeth, is not the important factor. Dirty, rotting teeth, are a very serious health issue. That residue from decaying teeth, is going through your entire body like a daily, slow poison.     :(

Yes I think it's very important to look after your teeth, and it only takes 2 mins to clean them twice a day, and a floss inbetween is good for them as well.

Did you know that tooth decay can cause heart problems and even death, if the infection of a bad tooth gets into bloodstream, it can go to the heart and kill you!

I think good teeth are very important! I see so many people with lots of teeth missing and I feel bad for them.  My employer offers dental insurance and lots of employees take it. However they do not improve their dental health I do not know if its fear or what?

At one time Oprah said she wouldn't have anyone one her show unless they had white teeth. Some people have great big mouths and all their teeth show. My mouth is small but my teeth are ok. Not great.   Oprath said there was no reason why people didn't have straight white teeth.

I was never fond of that woman. Julie, you gotta get a picture of you with teeth. We wanna see them.

For health and appearance, not to mention ease of chewing, teeth are important.

Whether your teeth are good or bad depends on four factors: diet, oral hygiene,  genetics, and environment.

Diet means avoiding sugary foods especially between meals.

Oral hygiene means cleaning the teeth effectively and using fluoride toothpaste.

Genetics you can't do much about but the other factors are more important.

Environment is important because if you were born and have lived in an area which has fluoride in the water, your teeth will be less likely to decay.

I think as far as health is concerned, clean and healthy teeth matter the most.

Teeth are definitely noticed, good or bad but like all appearances, it doesn't define you unless you wish it to.

There is a definite difference in attitudes toward the 'perfect smile' in different countries.

The chances of good health with missing teeth is not good. Its a sign that you are not taking care of yourself. Then its a genetic thing also. You might lose the enamel off your teeth. I know someone that had very few teeth in his mouth . He had 5 bypasses at 45 years old. Just didnt take care of himself.

two consistant traits about about models and movie stars, is that they always show their teeth and their eyes. The first thing you present to the world and to someone you just met, is your eyes and your teeth. If you teeth are crooked,misshapen, dingy,yellow,  missing,.......that tells the world that you don't give a sh- - --   about them and about you.
