Things I don't like about USA #1 - Teeth
●The obsession with “great” teeth. People are straightening fully functional teeth, with barley noticeable “crookiness”. Shaming people for these things, even in advertisements.
● The idea that teeth should be white, although whitening teeth actually makes them more vulnerable to cavities.
● The idea that people who don't have white+straight (+male?) Teeth shouldn’t smile in photos and cover their mouth.
I have great teeth. They are yellow, but they have 0 cavities. They are strong, they help me eat, sing and bite. I know some people have teeth with problems, and that’s ok. Some people don’t have teeth at all. That is ok as well.
But witnesses doesn’t mean health or hygiene. Straightness doesn’t mean health or hygiene.
Seriously, USA, why is that obsession with white and straight?
