    Whiter, Brighter!

    So just how obsessed or indifferent are you to how white your teeth are? Are you trying to flash those pearly whites whenever you get the chance? Do you almost never smile, or do you not even know what color your teeth or nor do you care? Does seeing someone with a white smile brighten your day and make you want to smile too?

    I like to hide my teeth whenever I can since to me they're just tools. Actually you know how it's said that it takes more muscles to frown? I've gotten it to the point where that's the natural state, sort of like my face froze like that.

    I try to hide my teeth as much as possible, whether my teeth are yellow or white. I am not a smiling person. And people say that I don't excercise my muscles.

    I brush my teeth twice a day, and floss two times a day. My teeth aren't really that shiny though. They aren't that repulsive, either. (I should consider that a blessing because I have a very unhealthy diet.)

    I don't think it matters that much, I mean your teeth are your business and people don't have to see it if you don't want them to.

    I really do not care how my teeth look. I brush them once daily and do nothing else to treat them. I do not know exactly what shade of color they are in.

    I frown so much people on the street have told me to smile, seriously. I just don't like to smile. One of my k-9 tooths (or whatever it's called} is a little longer than it should be because the tooth in front of it grew slightly behind the k-9 and is pushed back. Meaning, I can't put my tounge to theroof of my mouth without getting pierced by the tooth between my k-9 and front tooth. Other than that, smiling makes me look like an idiot and makes me uncofortable. Seeing other people's pearly whites annoys the heck out of me.

    I don't smile as much as I should apparently - according to my grandmother. I have a cheeky grin with a slight canine fanginess born simply for for my nocturnal lifestyle.. Actually I smile quite a lot - my nan rarely sees it as it occurs a great deal when I'm flirting, I grin constantly, showing my whities to the world. I think the term used for me is 'gleaming'. I can't stop which is a MAJOR give away if I like ya!

    Seeing a good grin is very infectuous. If I can make someone smile it'll make me smile too. A good smile is very attractive. Next to the eyes, it's the next thing I look at in a lady.

    I smile a lot, but I don't smile well on command. My smiles aren't really toothy grins, just lip smiles. Whiter teeth would be nice, but I'm happy with my "normal" colour right now.

    I smile a whole heck of a lot. Instilled in me since I was young because my mom was always telling me to smile. People like it when you smile, you look sad when you don't, people want to smile when you smile, you look more inviting and friendly if you smile, etc. In fact, during high school if I was reading or just in thought, I wasn't smiling and friends would come up to me asking if I was okay because they thought I was about to cry or something! The entire face is important to me, especially with the acting bug still on me and all, so a pretty smile has always been something on my list. I had braces for two 1/2 years, and when I was going to get them off I was freaking over wanting to get them bleached/whitened. So after I got them off I used this whitener gel they recommended. I have a retainer for top and bottom, and you just put the gel in the trays and wear it for like 3 minutes. Made a really big difference, to me at least, and made me want to smile a lot more. With braces I never really smiled, just did a cheeky grin if even. But boy, the second they were off I was smiling left and right. Especially with work, I always need to be cheerful and giving a smile, so knowing that my teeth are nice and white makes me want to smile more then I may normally want to. But that's just me, and after writing this I have to say I must have an issue or two with having nice looking teeth ...

    Yup, I keep white teeth.

    I just think it's nice to have them fairly bright. Although judging from most pictures of me, you wouldn't know they are, as I HATE smiling for the camera.

    I'm always smiling, I don't know why, I guess I'm just a happy guy. Plus I got my braces took off 3 years ago, so I have straight kinda white teeth. (what I mean is when I brush them, there white, duh..)

    I hate my teeth. I mean my teeth are white and close together and everything but they are so close together that I can get cavity's very easily.

    I'm on my last leg of 4,000 dollars worth of dental surgery just to demenstrate how dedicated to my pearly whites I am.

    I smile a lot.

    :D NEEEEEEEEEE!

    I'm always giggly and weird around people, so I guess I smile alot. But I HATE pictures with a passion, so I don't like smiling for the camera. My mom tells me I have teeth like my dads, they are very pretty. (MY dad's would be pretty if he would just take care of them) I've never had a cavity in my life. But all I do is brush in the morning, sometimes after naps because of the nasty sleepy breath you get. X_x;; Does anyone brush their tounge? I pratically scrub my tastebuds off, and I STILL have the feeling of bad breath. X__x;; I'm not obsessed with the color of my teeth, but my breathe is another thing...

    Before I had my braces, I didn't do a "toothy smile". My brother said I had a goofy grin thing going on. But once I got the braces off (I didn't smile at all with braces, but that's becuase the people around me then {jerks}) I smiled every time I saw people.
    Which led me to discover, that I (used to) show my gums when I smile. I practised smiling without gums showing, and now I have a pretty, white, straight, friendly smile. My brother uses teeth whitener, but I think my teeth are pretty just as "natural white", without help.

    So, I do care about my teeth and like to smile. So much work went into it, I may as well show it off.

    My teeth are yellow and crooked and I hate that, but my parents not.
