Teeth

[Gettingbysomehow]

I know I'll probably get roasted but King Charles is now a billionaire but he has the most awful gruesome teeth. I cant even bear to look at them. With all that money I'd get my teeth straightened and some subtle veneers. When you are a public figure like that the least you can do is have nice teeth.
I'm not rich by any means but I had mine straightened and si did my DS as I take care of them even if it means not ha
Ving a holiday or or new clothes or anything.
He isn't on benefits he is the king. Sort it out Charles.

Totally agree, I think he looks as he should. He’d look utterly ridiculous with a blindingly white set of Simon Cowell teeth!
There was another thread earlier for those bemoaning the MN coronet with ears, and a chorus of people saying how awful and wrong it was to make fun of someone’s ears. Yet here you are, dissing his teeth!

Surely there's a middle way between blinding white gnashers and crooked yellow teeth? I've had mine straightened and they are just normal teeth, only straight!

I don't think anyone is poking fun at him, either, just musing that usually, wealthier people or people in the public eye spend a lot on teeth, although perhaps not in his generation.

The Queen mother had awful teeth too, I remember commenting on it! 🤣

How old are you?

They look fine for someone who is almost 80!

For most people born between around 1945-1970, ie the post war generations, the priority has always been to keep their natural teeth for life. We may have had some orthodontic treatment but it was primitive compared with nowadays. We have traditionally been more concerned with the health of our teeth rather than the Hollywood smile. Most of us have succeeded. In 1968, the year of the first dental survey of its kind, nearly 40% of British adults had no natural teeth but these days, the figure has been reduced to 6%. The king is very much of the post war generation and mindset and, to my eyes, looks to have a healthy set of teeth of the colour and slight irregularity of a man in his seventies.

That's funny!

Does he not buy himself anything else then? Seriously, in the scheme of things ...

Who even looks at his bottom teeth? Not sure a 70 odd year old king needs teeth like Rylan!🙄

Maybe he isn't vain .

She did. She was famously known for having brown tombstones for teeth. I think she only had the front ones but she lived to be over a century with them, which is some feat.

70 so a bit younger than him (I'm not actually sure of his age but he's in his 70s) having braces wasn't unusual when I was at school, probably not as common as now but not unusual and I wasn't the only one in my class. My father was dead and my mother was busy trying to bring up a family so I arranged the referral with my dentist, saw the orthodontist myself and had the treatment. I was still wearing braces at 18 when I was a new mum and that was more unusual. I think I started later because of arranging it myself.

He's 74. I am surprised - lucky you!

Sneering at peoples teeth. Nice look op.

Well I hope those who frothed the good froth over the ears thing this morning/ still ongoing are reporting this thread...

Why was I lucky? I asked my dentist if I could be referred and he referred me to an NHS orthodontist who sorted out my teeth. My friends at school started their treatment a couple of years earlier as their parents had the time and head space to sort out the referral. Fifty odd years on I can think of 2 by name who had braces so that was 3 of us in a class of 30 and possibly more that I don't remember. Honestly if a 14 year old kid can get it sorted it seems pretty clear it wasn't a big deal to get orthodontic treatment in the 1960s.

While he's at it, he should get filler, fake tan and hair extensions. Then he'd look as shallow as you sound.

Why would you think he's not seen a hygienist? I go every 6 months, it doesn't make my teeth visibly look any better

They are gruesome, but I don't think the elderly are that bothered about having nice teeth.

Maybe he is one of those rare people who is actually quite happy with how he looks and isn't bothered. Something that's actually nice to see in the shallow world we live in

You had me at veneers

Well I'm sure he doesn't want to look like Joey Essex with turkey teeth ffs! It would look ridiculous.

Apparently when you smile when young, the top teeth are visible but with age your smile drops a little so bottom teeth are more visable. Either way, I think living with the teeth you have that had aged s bit along with the rest of you will be the choice I will make.

I'm just glad I have all of mine, I'm old enough to remember when women younger than I am now all seemed to have false teeth, for women born at the start of the 20th century it wasn't unusual to have dentures when still fairly young.

Dentist here.
He’s in his 70s. They are definitely his own, they aren’t full of fillings and they aren’t crowns. They just look normal to me, as in this is what teeth look like if you don’t have ortho or bleaching.
I’m sure he sees a dentist regularly!
