This photo below is a sign on the side of a building in Panajachel, Guatemala close to the market. I took a pause when I seen it, and still trying to understand the photo.
Take a look at the one tooth that stands out…

In Guatemala among the indigenous Mayan people, it appears to be fashionable to have teeth surrounded by silver. I heard that they have very soft teeth, however this is not substantiated, just hearsay. Whatever the reasons, there are many locals here that have silver teeth.

Not exactly an inviting sign, despite the considerable talent of the artist. Apparently they specialize in dentures:DENTAL SHALOM ESTA A SUS ORDENES EN FABRICASION DE PRROTESIS FIJAS EN METAL PORCELANADougPS: Hope your the pain has subsided. Take it easy out there.

I found lots of mouths full of gold in Quetzaltenango and nearby villages (like Totonicapán).Not unlike the urban black male of the USA who sports a "grill" full of (often fake but not always) gold teeth, being able to afford to have your teeth outlines in gold is a sign of prosperity and social affluence. I've seen the entire set of upper teeth outlined in gold (in what I would assume is a rather permanent procedure).//craig in bulgaria, travelvice.com
