So many adverts made by ‘western’ companies, especially anything related to toothpaste/other dental stuff, have the presenter smile with some uniform, white flat teeth. I feel like they look sort of uncanny, they just seem off-putting to me. Most people have decently flat teeth but they aren’t that fake-looking white. I have pointy canines/pre molars that definitely look completely different to the ‘perfect teeth’.

    Eh, dental care insurance is some of the cheapest insurance out there in the US. It’s easily affordable if you’re working full time. Whitening isn’t that expensive either.

      I wanna know where you’re getting your dental insurance because this is 1000% not the case for me.

          It’s crazy that you need dedicated dental insurance.

            In the US, teeth and eyes are not considered the same as other healthcare. They each need separate insurance policies. It’s bullshit.

      Yeah, and even with dental insurance, dental procedures are still expensive as fuck.

      It’s really weird to make a blanket statement like that because different people have very different salaries and expenses. Especially in reference to the US where these things heavily depend on the state a person resides in.

        I’ll admit it’s based on my limited experience. And I have zero union benefit experience.
