Gold Teeth Were Seldom Seen
Gold teeth have been used by dentists for many years to replace and repair human teeth. These gold teeth were not made of pure gold, but they were composed with a good portion of gold. These teeth were used more frequently in the distant past, but these gold teeth were very visible in some areas of the mouth. When dentists figured out a way to replace and repair teeth with less visible materials, many people opted for the latter. The teeth that were used frequently in the distant past are still used in some instances, but these gold teeth are usually used in the back of the mouth where they are not so visible.
Gold has been used by dentists to repair and replace human teeth because this precious metal is very strong. Gold maintains its stability well in the human mouth in spite of the many substances flowing around the mouth. Dentists have been able to make many comfortable replacement teeth using gold. These replacements usually work well in the mouth, and allow the owner of the teeth a comfortable chew. Other types of materials can make eating a sandwich a difficult experience. Dentists do not use gold for their work unless it is most important because gold is a very expensive product.
Gold Teeth Are Sometimes Decorative
Some people have gold teeth that are merely for decorative reasons. These people who have these teeth usually have a lot of money for gold teeth are not cheap. Some of the people who like the look of gold teeth in their mouth have one or two, and they place these teeth in prominent positions. There are other people who have their gold teeth throughout their mouth for decorative reasons. Of course, these people need a dentist and a designer for the sake of their gold teeth. There have been some people who have had permanent gold teeth placed in their mouth so these people need the services of the dentist and the designer.
Other people have these decorative teeth that are not permanently placed in their mouths. The companies who provide removable decorative teeth also have teeth designed in silver and other flashy materials. Some very prominent celebrities started this fashion statement, and their fans and others followed their lead. Most of the removable decorative teeth are made to slip over the natural teeth, and these can then be removed at any time. Some people have these removable teeth to cover both the top set of teeth and bottom set of teeth in their mouths. Other people might opt to have just one or two decorative teeth.
