would you kiss someone with stained teeth, do you automatically assume they will have bad breath?would you advise someone you met with such teeth on how to get them corrected?

i think smoking and chewing betel nut (like my grandmother) are some of the causes of stained teeth. however, having decent-looking teeth don't automatically mean they don't have bad breath. sometimes bad breath come from the gut. so i think the first appointment would be with a dentist to check the teeth and gums, then perhaps a gastroenterologist.

true some of the stains are caused by what we eat, there are areas where the water has some bad effect on teeth and people born in such regions tend to have stained teeth,but we only need to be checked.

oh yes,in high school i had a classmate who had white spots on her teeth. it happens when the level of fluoride in drinking water is too high.

hehe oh if that is the case, i think i would really be turned off. there is a kind of teeth stained because of smoking and if the person is not really careful it can really be unhygienic. i would never want to kiss anyone who's got a bad breath. hehe no way! for correction, if a friend asks me, there are always dentists who does have whitening procedures. i would refer them to good dentists.

thats true, the first reaction is to be turned off but nowadays there are many dentists who polish teeth to look clean and white.

I believe if I really love someone, I would still kiss them even if they do have stained teeth. Theoretically, people with stained teeth is suppose to have bad breath, but it may not be necessarily true since there are many ways that one can temporarily get rid of bad breath. I would suggest if one does one to fix their teeth, go for trusted dentist because they are the professional and they know what's best for one's teeth.

If the lover truly loves you then the beauty wont be counted as a criteria for it! But if you are embarrassed about your stained or yellowish teeth then you can go for any dental procedures like teeth whitening.I have done teeth whitening last year from a dentist called Dr.Stephen Phelan in Toronto.But I believes that for true love there is no color, religion,language...Just wait for your right partner!
