Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice π.
Natural teeth color isn't white, so anyone with white teeth has had whitening treatments or sonething else to brighten their teeth.
They drink coffee or tea and then have their teeth whitened. Or they don't drink coffee and tea to reduce the amount of yellowing, requiring less whitening. Or they have veneers.
I've seen people use straws * for coffee, tea or wine. I can do that cold, and it defeats the point of wine (flavor, imo), so draw your own conclusions.
Had a gf with stunning teeth. She drank plenty of coffee and smoked, just made a point to brush up afterwards. All she used was Crest White Strips. Those never worked well for me but my dentist made a mold that does the job.
Iβve seen pictures of tribes of people who mostly have perfectly white, straight teeth. Itβs possible under the right circumstances of diet, youth, and genetics.
Super misleading: https://adventure.com/wodaabe-nomads-gerewol-chad-africa/ They aren't as primitive as you make them out to be and they use techniques to specifically show off their white teeth. The fact that their canines are flat should already be a big hint that they don't have natural teeth.
The person on right has pointy canines. My daughter doesn't have pointy canines. Genetics vary
People can have flat canines, especially if they grind their teeth.
There is also a pair of sunglassess in the photo. Its possible this specific group has some dental care products.
