Have you ever wondered why on television and in films Japanese Geishas girls cover their mouths when they laugh? It could be that they have black teeth. Ohaguro is a Japanese beauty custom of blackening the teeth using a mixture of iron oxide, tea tannins and sake getting a pure black teeth, nowadays they use black wax that is applied on a daily basis by rubbing a finger against the teeth.
Hello Mitzi:
ReplyDeleteHaving just this moment returned from the dentist, this is a most topical post to find waiting in the blogroll although our dentist made to mention of this as a possibility for concealing any faults and is insisting that we return next week for further, extensive treatment. What a pity that we are in Hungary and not Japan where things could well be very different.
Do ask your dentist to black every other tooth to resemble the keys on your Alexander pianoforte.
DeleteI'm going to try this. I think it would enhance my 'you kept taking your brace off didn't you?' overbite no end and would fill in all the gaps. Can I get it on the National Health do you think?
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who neglected herself during her second pregnancy by not taking a vitamin supplement (or whatever it is women are suppose to take during the gestation period) and as a result, her teeth had gradually began to spray out until she couldn't close her mouth without her teeth showing. I bumped into her one day in town and I didn't even recognise her, she looked like something from out of the Beano! Thanks to the NHS she now has a marvelous pair of ill fitting dentures that clack together when she talks, but instead of looking like something from out the Beano she now looks like Mr Ed.
DeleteI get the same result from red wine.
ReplyDeleteTake them out MJ and leave them soaking in bleach overnight, they'll brighten up a treat by morning.
