Be honest with me about my teeth…

Putting myself on the line here but 😬

I really hate my teeth. It’s affecting my self esteem but I don’t particularly have the funds for private dental work and getting an NHS appointment is very hard, so I get them seen infrequently. I know it’s not ideal.

I brush 2, sometimes 3 times a day and invest in the best toothpaste & mouthwash available. I floss too and try not to have too much sugar. Despite doing all this I feel like they are not very white, at all - especially the ones at the side.

I don’t know if it’s just a me problem and it’s all in my head that others can see it too. So… If you saw my teeth would you notice them as anything out the ordinary or would you not really think much at all?

They are quite straight and not yellow! Not much.more you can ask for

gamerchick · 16/02/2024 16:58

Fuck all wrong with them OP and teeth aren't supposed to be 'brilliant white' anyway.

Pumpkinini · 16/02/2024 16:58

They look nice, could do with a bit of whitening home remedies etc. If not happy op, you should just go to Istanbul. They're really good there and cheap.

MrsSkylerWhite · 16/02/2024 16:59

I’d probably kosh you over the head for your lovely, straight teeth 😁

Pumpkinini · 16/02/2024 17:00

Ps, they're better than 90% of the general public really.. But up to you.

Moier · 16/02/2024 17:01

They look lovely and a beautiful smile.

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 16/02/2024 17:01

Your teeth are perfect – I’ve had braces and they’re still not as straight and aligned as yours! Dazzling white teeth don’t look good or natural. You’d be best seeing a hygienist who can polish them for you and see from there whether you want to whiten them further. But honestly, they look perfect.

Bunnyhair · 16/02/2024 17:02

Your teeth are straight and white and even and healthy looking. I’d honestly look at your teeth and think, what a lovely smile. This is all in your mind!

Springisintheair01 · 16/02/2024 17:08

Lovely teeth. If you want them whiter get them whitened!

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/02/2024 17:12

Nothing wrong with them.

Highlighta · 16/02/2024 17:23

Go and have a look for some other dental posts where people have genuine actual problems with their teeth.

I too think you are just here for the compliments.

NotObligedToArgueWithStrangers · 16/02/2024 16:13

They look like perfectly normal, straight, healthy white teeth. Please don't aspire to the ultra white perfect look that you see in the media. Teeth are not supposed to look like that.

This.
You have lovely teeth.

JamSandle · 16/02/2024 17:59

Beautiful teeth.

Are you joking?

YourWinter · 16/02/2024 18:07

I’m not showing you mine but yours are gorgeous OP

itsmyp4rty · 16/02/2024 18:09

Thee may be something wrong with you OP, but it's not your teeth - they're fantastic!

Libertysparkle · 16/02/2024 18:15

Lovely, straight, white and natural teeth.

Just make sure you keep up having nhs dentist appointments. I was removed from my practice (my fault) and now have to pay private.

LIZS · 16/02/2024 18:19

Look fine to me!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 16/02/2024 18:21

I think you have great teeth.

Absolutely ridiculous comment. OP, you have perfectly nice teeth. If you want them whitened then do it properly at a dentist but really there is no need. And ignore any suggestions to go to Turkey to have all your attractive healthy natural normal teeth filed to points and fake-looking veneers stuck on, no doubt bringing you a lifetime of dental expense and problems.

Autumnlover8 · 16/02/2024 18:37

I’d love to have teeth like yours.

I’d have to have years of braces, double jaw surgery, and then more years of braces however.

Try to put it into perspective and look at the good rather than obsess over little perceived faults. It’s hard to do but worth it. I should know

saltrock123 · 16/02/2024 18:52

I would love your teeth, honestly they look fine. I'm 60 with dentures after a lifetime of weak crumbling teeth.

Justhereforaibu1 · 16/02/2024 18:55

I've spent thousands on my teeth and they're not as nice as yours!
