irc333 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I wouldn't say I am all that superficial. But I think when it comes to bad teeth, we have our limits. There's this woman I met online that looks attractive otherwise, and she never really was smiling fully in her pics...I could see in one of them she had a gap between one of her front teeth , no big deal, and that's it. I met her in person, very intelligent, and we had a great talk, but when I saw her teeth....the bottoms were okay, but the top ones, were really bad, each tooth seemed to be a good distance apart from one another, and you could kind of see this characteristic reflect even further under and above her area below her nose. She kept them clean, no issue there. But that's the kind of thing that should be taken care of when you're a kid (She probably needed braces back then). But of course as you get older, they become worse and growing in every direction. Just didn't look appealing to me. That being said, had you been turned off by these teeth like this?
Star Gazer Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Yes, I've been turned off by teeth like those you describe. I tried to look past it, but couldn't. I also have trouble with guys who have very small teeth and very large gums.

Dan, "Better tuck those things in, you'll trip them on a trip wire." LOL (Forest GUmp) There was another I met online, drop dead gorgeous, athletic, very curvy, a Mtn BIker. But when she smiled...she had...well, teeth where gums receded significantly, too. Or just had long teeth?
FitChick Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Dental care is very expensive, unfortunately. Filling in gaps is probably the cheapest procedure with bonding. Offer to pickup part of the tab.
Tybalt Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I work in the dental field and I have definitely not dated someone I otherwise lliked well enough, due to their oral hygiene. But it's more the condition of the gums, whether they have periodontal disease and the characteristic bad breath of same, etc. I'm less disturbed by certain cosmetic aspects, partly because I know it's usually fairly easily fixed. What I cannot get over is the repulsion that comes from the thought of kissing an infection.
