Keith's Teeth
Posted by: stones2000 ()

Hey all. I just had a question; does anyone know the story of Keith's teeth? I know that in the 70s he had that chipped tooth, and now his teeth look perfect. Has he just had work done, or did he just black out part of his tooth? Thanks

I heard he used Pronamel and it all cleared up on its own.

I've edited my post, I accidentally posted it before I finished. I was more curious about if his chipped tooth was actually chipped or if he just blacked it out

I think it just rotted out along with the rest of his teeth. He talks about it in his book life, says by the end of the 70's he had ruined all his teeth. So either he's got dentures or implants. In any case he did get an upgrade a few years ago, his chompers are different now than they were a few years back.

peace

Keith's are like a shark's teeth: When one tooth is damaged or lost, it is replaced by another. As a tooth is broken or worn down, it falls out and is replaced by a tooth in the next row. The sets of teeth rotate forward and a new tooth forms in the rear.

Wow, I can really picture this, sorta like a cartoon conveyor belt of teeth shifting through his mouth. I'm worried now that I'll never be able to look at Keith Richsrds again without trying to peer into the teeth machine. eye popping smiley

The present set of "teeth" is very different from his earlier sets. Bigger, whiter and more Hollywood smiling smiley

I believe he got them fixed already by 1974-75. If you look at pics from '75 you can see that they look way better than just a year or two before. But he may have had to fix 'em again five years later as well. smiling smiley

No it was implants of course! Dentures are for 99%-ers like you or me.
irc he got a new smile for the 81 tour but the job was partly done = if you look at some pix from that era you see that beyond the "front row" there's nothing behind! eye popping smiley

Keith and Anita deliberately chose not to restore their teeth once their heroin addiction caused them to rot. They felt that dental maintenance was a bourgeois value. However, he went to Switzerland in 1974 and had a complete dental restoration. (Anita also had her teeth restored; not sure of the date.) I can't imagine how they even put crowns on his deteriorated teeth. So maybe he was fitted with dentures. Now I imagine he has implants, which are like real teeth.

Heroin doesn't make your teeth rot alone.

True, Keith's teeth were never what you would call strong and healthy-looking, although Anita's were. Apparently heroin reduces saliva production and that is what causes teeth to deteriorate, in addition to users' well-known general self-neglect including their teeth, of course.
