Are grillz good or bad for your teeth? Why?

Question:

Grillz are the mouth pieces worn by some in the hip hop or rap industry. They look like they would prevent good dental hygiene. True or false?

Answers:
It depends-- as I understand it, they are strictly covers and not replacements for teeth. Therefore, they are only as harmful as a mouthguard or removable retainer would be. Obviously, one needs to rinse it thouroughly before and after use with water and toothpaste, and it would probably be helpful to soak it in listerine once in awhile too, just for hygenic reasons.

Other Answers:
Well I don't think they're good for your teeth.

i dont know, but they are simply ugly i dont know but dont where em it looks soooo stupid its almost a cheap way to hide bad teeth or somthen imo anyway

If hip hop is doing it should probaly kill you.Tupac, Biggie, etc.

NOT UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE A BAR-B-QUE GRILL

they could depending on what you get behind them, but they are not permanent, they just clasp to your teeth probably bad, but very very ugly

Why would a good lookin chick like you want to wear something like that?

Grillz should be avoided totally..

They cause dental problems in the long run. Now is the best time to pursue a career in the dental industry..they're about to get very busy very soon.

Seems like it'd be unhealthy to have them in your mouth for a long period of time but i don't think it'll do any damage to your teeth. alot of people wear retainers that have metal strips along the teeth. I'm not sure. I guess if the grillz can be removed to brush your teeth regularly they shouldn't affect your dental hygiene. I don't understand why people get grillz though. When looking at them from far off it looks like a person already as poor dental hygiene

I would think that they must be hard to eat with much less keep clean. I hope that you aren't considering getting them. that would be a shame you have a beautiful face.

they help keep a lot of bacteria behind them and up against the teeth and gums.which can cause problems with the teeth and gum disease.
they also slowly wear away your enamel on the teeth which can expose your nerves, and this will cause pain. and if you wear aways your enamel on your teeth, this can be costly to try and repair them..
good luck

No a well made grill will not damage your teeth. It can be made to snap in and snap out. so the hygiene is not a problem. bad. in order to fit they would have to drill.. somewhere..and saliva would not be able to flush the teeth eighter.. u run into chances of cavity if u wear them for extended time.
