Serious answer? Yes. They often have either bleached teeth, which eventually destroys them so then they need veneers (fake front) and after that they get dentures.

What.

Just…what.

Where are you getting this information? You’re talking about the US, where we have excellent healthcare for people who can afford it, and those people can fuckin afford it.

Being rich does not make people smart.

I don't think that was being stated as a point of pride. It's just the shitty state of things here.

No, you were very much misreading the comment. They just threw a crazy factoid out there. And then followed with a non sequitur about “rich =/= smart.” And why would my confusion mean I love privatized medicine?

I mean, you’re not wrong about me being smarter than the rest of you. I’m just choosing to ignore the part where it’s only in my head. Because I’m so much smarter. (jk)

Unfortunately it's true. It's pretty well known in beauty/aesthetic procedure spaces, which many celebrities inhabit. It's why so many have samey looking teeth, it's wild.

its not completely wrong. getting cosmetic veneers is a pretty common practice in hollywood. they don't cause your teeth to decay or whatever, but lots of celebs have them.
