Ross PK Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) They could be slightly yellow, or more than slightly. What if he said it's not because he doesn't look after them, it's just because his enamel is thin which means they stain easily? Would that make any difference to you?

ShatteredReality Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I don't see why yellow teeth are a deal breaker. I think someone would have to be rather superficial to feel that way. If the guy has a crappy personality then the teeth matter, if he's a gem (funny, caring, considerate, respectful, smart, all of that) then the teeth are secondary and not truly a concert. That's just my Humble Opinion though.
irc333 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 yeah, typically a person's teeth is not TOTALLY white anyhow.
murah989 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I used to suffer from yellowish teeth a few years ago because of the medication I was taking for my illness. Occasionally someone would point out on a date that my teeth were yellow...at which point I would tell her that i'm not a big mustache person. Point is: If yellow teeth are out of your control and she "judges" you based on that...kick her to the curb.
sully737 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) It wouldnt be a deal breaker per say... but I might be a little put off by it, even if that does seem superficial, Im being honest. Buy a whitening kit. The cheaper ones are about 40 dollars and they last for around year. A nice smile is important. Edited January 4, 2011 by sully737
fishtaco Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Why don't you fix it? Yellow teeth is relatively easier to fix. If you have money to spare then even better, there are many dentistry options. I'm far from perfect, I have many issues. But if one of them is bothering me and giving me insecurities, I'd take steps to fix it.
paleblue Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 It's a deal breaker for me if it's NOT out of someones control because they are just being SLoppy and lazy. Sorry but I work hard at looking after myself. I clean up. Do laundry. Wash daily. I want the same. If it's out of someone's control due to a medical situation than no deal breaker. I wouldnt leave my partner because of that.
loverofloveandstuff Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 like fishtaco said, if you're insecure about it just whiten your teeth. There are hundreds of whitening toothpastes that a pretty cheap and they actually work. Also, crest whitening strips.
fishtaco Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Well, I think the point is being missed here. OP should not care what other women think, you can ALWAYS find someone that will or will not care about something. OP should care about what he thinks of himself. If he's insecure about yellow teeth, fix it, for himself, not for the women.
allina Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I would not be able to do it, I would be too grossed out to kiss him.
missdependant Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 They could be slightly yellow, or more than slightly. What if he said it's not because he doesn't look after them, it's just because his enamel is thin which means they stain easily? Would that make any difference to you? I guess it depends on if the guy still looks good. Sorry, I'm kind of shallow.
OceanGirl Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I wouldn't be able to kiss anyone with yellow teeth.
Eeyore79 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Generally teeth are a creamy yellowy colour anyway; pure white teeth are usually veneers or false teeth. I could deal with slightly yellow teeth, but if they were so yucky that I didn't want to kiss him, it would be a deal breaker. I have been in that situation before, and I declined to date the guy because his teeth were disgusting. If your teeth are yucky, get them fixed.
johan Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Teeth so stained from ill health or excessive coffee/tea consumption or smoking are pretty easy to spot. And that's a turn-off. It would require me to make an exception to date a woman who had any of those problems.
OceanGirl Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Ross seriously, change your normal toothpaste to a whitening one and brush twice a day. As someone said, there are many inexpensive whitening products that you can use. There is really no excuse for having yellow teeth...
zengirl Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 What do you mean by yellow? Badly stained or discoloured teeth would probably turn me off, just as really crooked teeth would (though one or two crooked teeth can be really cute, in just the right places). Whomever I date has to be physically attractive to me. FWIW, I wouldn't care if anyone else liked their teeth if I did, but, no, if teeth were completely dingy, I probably wouldn't dig the guy.
Author Ross PK Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 Why don't you fix it? Yellow teeth is relatively easier to fix. If you have money to spare then even better, there are many dentistry options. I'm far from perfect, I have many issues. But if one of them is bothering me and giving me insecurities, I'd take steps to fix it. I've tried a whitening kit and it didn't work. I've also heard that they can cause harm to your teeth in the long run anyway. There's veneers, but they cost a few thousand per tooth, which I can't afford. I can't think of anything else I could do. When I visit the dentist and he polishes my teeth, they do look a lot better, but within a month they look slightly stained again, even though I try to make sure I don't eat and drink things that would stain them. I'm not sure what else I could do.
Eeyore79 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 You can get professional tooth whitening done at the dentist, where they use UV lights and stuff to bleach your teeth. Only you know whether your teeth are bad enough to warrant such treatment. I have turned down dates in the past because a guy had shockingly yellow/brown or crooked teeth. One guy looked like a horse; no wonder he had his mouth closed in all his online dating pics! Our first date was our last, and it was over as soon as he opened his mouth...
