“that’s just the way the world works” it literally doesn’t have to be but okay
if anyone ever tells you “humans are just selfish / life is cruel / that’s just how the world is, get over it” be critical of them bc there’s a 75% chance they’re just using that as an excuse for their own shitty behavior so that they don’t have to put an effort into being better, kinder people
Great-looking teeth come from two things: luck and money (which is also a function of luck).
Dental procedures tend to be very, very expensive, and are almost never covered by insurance.
Healthy teeth aren’t necessarily big, straight or bright white. Depending on what someone’s natural teeth are like, achieving that look may require a significant downgrade in their dental health; unnecessary crowns and veneers cause damage.
Do not underestimate genetics’ role in determining teeth’s appearance, or how prone teeth are to problems. Genes and early development, i.e. things people get zero control over, can outweigh all else.
A wide range of chronic conditions impact oral health and teeth’s appearance, too, and may contraindicate various types of work or raise procedures’ cost even more.
Finally, for many people and many reasons, celebrity-looking teeth just aren’t a priority (even when they’re attainable; some people might want, y’know, a new car instead).
Regardless, don’t be an asshole. Not even very attractive teeth look good on those.
I’ve NEVER seen a post like this and I’m thrilled TBH because I’m very insecure about my teeth and there is literally one reason they are not nice and that is money so I’m literally down for teeth positivity
I am a person who flosses and brushes religiously, and still wound up with cavities and had two root canals done recently, thanks to what I can only assume is the losing end of the genetic lottery. You have zero idea what someone is doing for their dental care unless you know them personally–they could be doing everything possible and STILL have “imperfect” teeth. SO DON’T FUCKING COMMENT ON IT and make people feel bad for something out of their control or financial reach.
Even when you have good dental insurance, you still have to pay a lot out of pocket for anything other than regular check-ups and cleanings.
As a general rule, if it’s something that can’t be helped or fixed right now, DON’T COMMENT ON IT.
