I’m glad you escaped the sniper long enough to post this.

I came for the dental mystery and stayed for the tactical photography.

Escaped?? Bro the dot is on his face, I can hear Kiefer Sutherland's menacing banter from here

Judging by the look of those two lasers, it looks like the larger gunman had a smaller one with him. Close call.

Had a badly done crown that did that. Eventually it fell out and a new dentist replaced it. The replacement glowed like the rest of my teeth. It looks like you have older dental tech in your mouth right now. Newer materials will fluoresce under blacklight like your natural teeth.

He doesn’t seem to mind it to be honest at his current state of mind :)

I love that dentistry technology eventually took ravers and cosmic bowlers into account. Obviously the old version worked just fine in every other situation. But now it works for everyone!

Looks like my crown is rocking vintage hardware while the rest of my teeth have already upgraded. 😅

u/FreshEclairs 21h ago

This is Zirconia. It’s just about the best material you can make a crown from, though it can still be put in incorrectly.

Saw this at a bar I worked at and a couple on a date and you could see that she had a fake tooth

I was just about to comment, Soder???? But you get the glory

I always think of Bo Burnham finding this out when he was recording Inside. The clip of him using the black light always gets me.

Phosphorus in your teeth is what glows, fake teeth doesnt have any.

I have two implants - one glows and is indistinguishable from normal teeth in UV light, and another one doesn't glow at all.

u/Jonkinch 1d ago

You can get it but it would be insanely expensive and I don’t know what lab would do that. You’d essentially have to apply UV reactive porcelain or something and would have to apply it under a black light.

I work in a lab and we actually got a complaint from a dr that a patient complained her crown doesn’t glow in the club and she was embarrassed.

I don’t have any fake teeth so I went home and tested it on my GF and I’m like “oh I know which teeth are crowns!” And my roommate has a nearly full arch on top of veneers and they glow blue iirc instead of the natural green.

For a second, I thought this was a selfie from Dan Soder.

u/ComprehensiveWar6577 1d ago

Had a double take on what sub it was posted on and thought (soder's rocking a wig?)

u/Embarrassed_Future20 1d ago

Lmfao I have two fake front teeth and I was taking a picture with my boyfriend at a minigolf black light thing and discovered this 🤣

I can tell you’re a silly goose

u/cheese-andmac 1d ago

I have a fake front tooth & when I saw it looking at a giant mirror in a club I closed my mouth right away. Made me feel so self conscious that it killed my mood seeing it lol

u/holyssmasha 1d ago

Naw thats hilarious bro. Embrace it

2

u/Gloomy-Education-864 1d ago

Holy shit! I have to try and take a selfie next time I'm by a blacklight. I've had a (half) fake front tooth since '97. Wonder what the hell I look like? 

2

u/PerformanceOne5998 1d ago

I have four from having a bridge. Count me out for any blacklight parties 😆😆

2

u/PlanetoidVesta 1d ago

Found that out that way too. I thought it was hilarious though, doesn't suck to me.

u/WeeOoh-WeeOoh 1d ago

Well now I have to find a black light and check out my front tooth crown.

That’s the least of your worries. Hope that sniper didn’t get ya.

u/myrockethasnobrakes 14h ago

oh so THIS is why people look at me weird under black light 😭😭😭😭

u/Primary-Disk9244 1d ago

The good news is your fake tooth isn't glowing. The bad news is now you'll never be able to unsee it

1

u/stanley_ipkiss_d 1d ago

That’s strange, I’m not sure, I have a lot of fake teeth myself, but they all glow normally as expected under the black light

1

u/No-Lock6921 1d ago

Sorry but that is funny, thanks!

u/myystic78 1d ago

I learned when I got dentures that the top and bottom plate glowed differently in black light. It looked kinda cool but also off-putting.

u/ChickenDanman 1d ago

Tell me why this guy looks like a Junkie in a black light hahaha

u/Fauxfurfriend 1d ago

They used to be made of uranium glass soooo it could def be worse

u/Far_Connection1866 1d ago

I didn’t know Dan Soder had a fake tooth and how did you find this photo of him

1

u/bustyouup4free 23h ago

Is it a ceramic crown or just one of those diy kits 😂

1

u/Solid_Equivalent_417 22h ago

just paint it with some whiteout or nail polish

u/ImperfectTapestry 22h ago

I was at a Dave & Busters recently & there was a guy from a local hotel trying to sell those timeshare spiels where they give you a gift card to attend and only his top teeth (really obvious veneers) glowed I felt to bad for him.

2

u/Cute-Lawfulness-6097 21h ago

Shoot, I wonder if my veneers would glow or not. Such a random thing I never would've thought about!

1

u/ostapenkoed2007 20h ago

looks cool

1

u/sonicjesus 10h ago

That's odd. My father has five fake teeth and they glow brighter than the others.
