My daughter is 20 and wants her canine teeth lenghtened to make them look "vampire" teeth..what do you think?

She needs to find a dentist willing to do it.





Aside from the ethical problems - she'd mess up her bite bad.





I had to make a set of fangs for a patient of mine in the play Dracula - she was one of his brides (tall pale blond- perfect for the part) - but I had her in braces so she couldn't wear the fake teeth.





After a lot of study, we managed to make her a set - best looking vampire in the play!





Okay - watch most vampire movies and you'll see it is NOT the canines they have elongated - its the laterals (the teeth next to the center teeth - called - you guessed it - centrals).





If the canines are lengthened, she will have trouble talking, and be biting her lip, a lot!!!! Canines are guide teeth, make them too long and they interfere with jaw movements.





Acrylic teeth can be made that look great, are pretty durable, and can get a decent fit, yet are removable. That is the way to go.

Reply:i think she'll regret it when she gets older.
Reply:I think she needs to grow up.
Reply:I think that she's 20 and it's no longer your concern.
Reply:I'm against it.
Reply:young and dumb! im not that old (23) and I would say no because something like that would be something i'd regret later in life like trying to get a "real" job.
Reply:She can borrow my teeth .. they're vampire-ish already!








Anyway, having vampire teeth could be seen as a weapon and she could be ordered to have them removed.
Reply:Slap her.
Reply:I think you should tell her to really think about that first.....how satisfied would she be in a few years from now ? Hopefully this will probably pass.....all the best.
Reply:your actully considering it???!!!


what kinda mother are you? do you suck blood too?
Reply:State your opinion, then walk away. She is an adult and will have to pay in the long run.
Reply:She's 20. It's her life and her mouth.
Reply:i think she needs to grow up, and that you need to look at your 20 year old and see an adult and butt out.
Reply:Shes old enough to make up her mind. Maybe if she somehow met someone with such teeth and they looked horrible she'd change her mind..Dont ttell her not to do it as it may make her want it more..
Reply:You are that permissive to even consider going along with it? She is an adult but you should make every effort to stop it. What other weird ideas does she have!
Reply:haha thats pretty dumb. What happens when she gives blow jobs? Where's she gonna work, the halloween store?
Reply:that's spooky... why don't you tell her that it will look at bit odd... especially by the time she gets old... because now she's young and she can make fun of it, but when she gets married and having children or ever grandchildren... she will definitely regret it!
Reply:Sounds cool great for opening beer...








But maybe a tattoo would be a better idea








She wants something origonal... But she needs to work out where her career ambitions lie... ie not in an office
Reply:Can`t see why anyone would want to have that done.Is she into horror movies?
Reply:It doesn't make any difference what other people think. She's an adult. She makes her own decisions and then lives with the consequences.
Reply:Here's a site that tells how to make vampire teeth to attach over your regular teeth. Maybe she should try these first.

I think when she applies for jobs, employers will be put off by her fangs. Hopefully she will grow out of the idea before making it permanent.
Reply:i think its just a fashion thing happening here but at 20yrs old i would think that wouldn't be a good thing because it probably would destroy her teeth in the long run. but the decision is up to her i suppose good luck convincing her out of it.
Reply:I think you need to sit her down and explain that she'd be a laughing stock if she had this work done, even if she could find a dentist who would do it in the first place.
Reply:I'd say to let her do it.


She has a free-will and if her will is to better


herself in her eyes then may those who look


apon her be blind because no decision or remark


shall fade her true image.





Plus, we're not in any position to "read" or even


"judge" people. She is an indivitual just like any of us,


so I wish her well, and I will be one of many to tell her that


she has good taste.





I'm all for it.
Reply:Ignore her. I know it's really difficult, but if she's showing off delayed-adolescence style, your negative reaction will just fuel it; while if she's actually mature enough to choose this.. er.. attribute permanently, then she's going to have lots of other social/professional issues come up without your parental fuel adding to the fire. Oh, dear... try to think of it as you would an offensive tattoo, and pray she changes her mind in time.
Reply:I can't believe a mother would ask this question. Don't be afraid to have a backbone and do the right thing where your daughter is concerned. If she makes herself look weird she will have a life long problem with just about everything. She will have problems getting a job just to begin with. If she ever wants to get married the only kind a man that would marry that would be a weirdo. You don't want your daughter to have a hard time with everything she does and be ridiculed as well.
Reply:It`s up to hear, hope she wont regret it later
Reply:She'll regret that when she gets older. Tell her there are cheaper ways to doing that. She can order some good fangs at vampfangs.com, plus anything else she may want. I've ordered some, and being in Iraq, I freak out everyone. LOL Best of luck to you..........
Reply:Say no and send her to church.

Reply:Definitely something she may regret in the future. Still it could look good though and have seen others with it done. If this is a form of self-expression for her then maybe allow it but with falsies. There must be ones that are glued instead of a permanent variety.
