Heirs to the American southern hip hop culture, the so-called 'grills' are halfway between dental jewellery and the old gold dentures and bridges; however, unlike the latter, the only function of this peculiar item is aesthetic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rooted in 'bling-bling' - the ostentatious adoration for shiny pieces of jewellery of some North American urban tribes - grills have leapt to popularity in the hands of a thousand and one pop culture celebrities: Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Beyonc\u00e9, Katy Perry, Madonna, Lana del Rey and even Justin Bieber have already worn grills on more than one occasion. The list is huge and includes musicians from both inside and outside the hip hop sphere, so the success is steadily spreading.<\/p>\n

\nBut the truth is that this fashion has some dangers, as warned by numerous organisations, from the American Dental Association -the reference organisation in the United States- to large multinationals concerned about our oral health, such as Oral B or Colgate.<\/p>\n
The disadvantages for oral health of grills have to do both with possible allergic reactions to the metals used to make them and with the proliferation of bacteria in them: we must not forget the special care and thorough hygiene that must be observed with objects such as orthodontics, splints, etc. that spend time in our mouths.<\/p>\n
