GOLD 03/07/2008 09:25
Having a gold tooth in a country with such a high crime rate and an inflation infection is near suicide. Some desperate oke might just knock it out and sell it to eat for a month. - HJH |

It's just gross... 03/07/2008 09:26
I put that kind of "decoration" in the same catagory as my husband's aunt, who's little flat, is about 75% covered in those Little Bo-Peep type statuette thingys. Similarly tacky and kitch. All I see when I see that is sooped-up skyline, chains around the neck and a s#!t load of chest hair. Yuk!!! - chillepeppa |

Gold footh!! :) 03/07/2008 09:44
ya Kgomotso, its a bit over the top, and to make it worse is that dentsists have jumped onto the bandwagon and are "specializing" in gold fooths! I have a big struggle getting a dentsit who does general dentisrty without expecting me to have a whitening and godl footh!! my dentist emigrated to Germany and we ahve been trying to get a decent dentist who is not a gold footh specilaised!!

Unbelievable 03/07/2008 09:44
Unbelievable. My sister's friend put one in last year - I mean really 2008 and I also can't believe there are still people walking around with such things in their mouths. It is such a turn off. In varsity we named them Tito Mboweni cause they have "gold investment" in their mouths. - Well said |

gold teeth 03/07/2008 09:45
Still, it's an investment you carry around with you for safekeeping and only over your dead body someone would steal it... Horrible thought, makes me agree with you wholeheartedly, Kgomotoso! - taurus |

GOLD TEETH 03/07/2008 09:50
I almost had one when my mother wanted to make sure she gets "value for Money" on her new medical aid, coz 'they woul take the money anyway". Thanx God, the dentist said I was too young. I still cant help butnotice the faded shine in my cousin's mouth. Amazing that my nephew just asked me to hook him up (using my medical aid nogal). - Tumi02 |

another amen! 03/07/2008 10:11

Absolutely 03/07/2008 10:20
In the "common" list it's right up there in the top-10. I can understand that someone might have preferred a gold tooth or bridge to the crappy "ivories" available 100 years ago, which would apparently discolour almost immediately and easily chip or break (my great-grandmother had a gold tooth) but these days it's just not on. You might as well stick an orange on the arial, hang a CD from the rear-view mirror and put pink fur on the dash ... - marna |

Rotting... 03/07/2008 10:30
Gold teeth are no good as they rot your other teeth as well and the dentist will never tell u this. Wherever there is a glod tooth, next to it the others will rot and then no teeth or dentures which are not comfortable.... - Raj |

it's irritating... 03/07/2008 10:36
I really hate the gold tooth it irritates the hell out me to see a cute guy wearing that it means that his not worth it. I would like to urge all the guys who has that thing in their mouth to take it out it's not impresive...-Pira - you got it right |

@Sam 03/07/2008 10:36

Funny and very true 03/07/2008 10:37
I love your column kgomotso.
I have a friend who has a gold tooth, she's so defensive and oversensitive when we tell her it's gotta go! She's 30 years old for goodness sake! It may have been cute for her to get it at 16 but not at 30..Hmphh I give up - kg |

good taste 03/07/2008 10:43
I cannot recall that you were apointed as the sole judge and diva of good breeding and class. Your arrogance is much higher than your IQ. By the way, I have no gold teeth but two people whom I know very well are the ultimate in class and breeding have gold insets as they try to stay away from mercury. - Chris |

Who cares??? 03/07/2008 11:19
I really don't and will never understand the human race. Are we so shallow with NOTHING to do that we will get irritated by someone with a gold tooth? Are you also irritated by those with a tattoo? Or is this COOL because DJ Fresh has them and white people have them? Are you also driven into madness by those with a nose ring? Life is already complicated - don't irritated yousrelf further!!! - Busi |

Jack Handey once said:"Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank"and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind." I think he has a point. ;-) - chillepeppa |

Fashion suicide 03/07/2008 12:10

Gold tooth 03/07/2008 12:28
Years ago before advanced dental techniques were used, mercury and real gold was used to preserve broken teeth. Now it is Duracast (fake gold) and the best white porcelaine. To replace old gold fillings with white is just too expensive and the risk of loosing a 'good tooth'is just not worth is. To add gold just for fashion is very silly though. - MARION |
