I Have Become Obsessed With Teeth

[barry1010]

I never really noticed people's teeth unless they were particularly prominent but now I can't help noticing when people on TV have had their teeth 'done', they call to me like shining beacons.

Today it is TV presenter Mark Evans. I've been watching his series 'My Floating Homes' on catch up from series 1, skipping the episodes that don't interest me. I watched a new episode and his teeth jumped out at me. 'Another one!' I bellowed to my startled wife.

Maybe it brings back memories of my childhood when my mother had all her teeth whipped out (there was nothing wrong with them but it was free option on the NHS, lots of younger people had it done) and smiled at me with these enormous shining teeth. I think I screamed.

It jars when I watch period dramas, these 'Turkey teeth' shining beneath lips blown up with filler topped off with thick, marker pen eyebrows.

Bring back quirky, natural teeth. Have you got a tv pet hate or obsession?

I had to Google it, never heard of it

No need to call it an obsession, barry - think of it as something to get your teeth into ;)

You can still buy Pearl Drops.

I've just checked on the Pearl Drops and the bottle isn't the same.

That made me laugh, Choux

My teeth obsession is slightly different. I'm obsessed by the fact that over the last 12 months mine have decided it'll be great fun to move about and leave gaps, thus ensuring eating is painful to my gums. Titally unexpected, and makes no sense at all: and ruins the past pleasure of eating :-(

[barry1010]

I'm sorry to hear that, OG, could it be receding gums?

[Old_Geezer]

My dentist blames grinding my teeth for the movement.

[barry1010]

You can get a device to stop that, it would probably stop you sleeping, too, until you got used to it.

Liverpool teeth we call them. Even the binmen and big issue sellers have them there. When Saurez left Liverpool he even transferred his to Jurgen Klopp. Chop chop.

I've noticed it on Corrie, two long term drug addicts have brilliant white teeth.

[barry1010]

Yes, Abi and Cassie. Abi's look particularly false and too big. Eileen got new teeth ages ago and they still jar with me, don't look right at all

This could possibly be an unhealthy obsession Barry.
Something you shouldn't get your teeth into?

[barry1010]

But Choux said it IS something I should get my teeth in to.
I'll chew it over
