Brian and I were at home last night and saw an episode of Bizarre Foods. Yes, I know that is weird enough on it's own...Brian's choice, not mine...Anyway, the show was about Indonesia. One of the customs of that culture is to file down the canine teeth. I have attached the link. It made my toes curl! The video clip is about 2 minutes long. It might just make you happy to come to the dentist. Pay close attention to the general LACK of cleanliness...of course, that is what we noticed!
Now you know what your dentist watches at night when he is off duty! At least after watching some of those episodes, he is happy to eat whatever is on the Johnson menu for the night!
We hope you enjoy this little quirky bit of cross cultural dental information!
Have you heard of an unusual cultural dental custom?
