This is because, as we all know a person's teeth are amongst the first thing we notice about them, when they start talking to us. And regardless of how good looking the person in question may be in other respects, as long as their teeth are 'jutting out' at all the wrong angles, we end up at least deducting a few points from their 'looks' score, if we don't actually declare them to be 'bad looking' there and then.Yet the problem doesn't end there....more
