Gold teeth have positive and negative connotations associated with them.
In recent years, gold teeth have been exclusively associated with the
hip-hop community; however, they were used by many cultures in the past,
it has become a fashion trend that even young ladies rock and feel good
about it. people who wear the gold teeth more are the Muslim Alhaja's,
but now everybody are wearing it.
Historically, gold teeth were
indicative of wealth and prosperity. Many cultures ranging from Asian to
Africa used gold teeth as a status symbol of power. In the past
decades when the use of gold teeth in dental procedures came to the
forefront, it was viewed as attractive and was seen by many to be a way
to tell who had the money and the power within the community. but now it
has taken a different dimension from what it mainly stands for.
Dentists have used gold for filling cavities, for crowns, and for other
purposes. Because gold is malleable and nearly immune to corrosion, it
had great value in dentistry. In the past, acquiring gold teeth was an
expensive dental prosthetic. With the advancements in dentistry, the
value of gold teeth has declined. Instead of acquiring permanent gold
teeth, many people resort to purchasing grills, i.e. false tooth covers.
