Gold teeth have positive and negative connotations associated with them. In recent years, gold teeth have been exclusively associated with the hip-hop community; however, they were used by many cultures in the past, it has become a fashion trend that even young ladies rock and feel good about it. people who wear the gold teeth more are the Muslim Alhaja's, but now everybody are wearing it.

Historically, gold teeth were indicative of wealth and prosperity. Many cultures ranging from Asian to Africa used gold teeth as a status symbol of power. In the past decades when the use of gold teeth in dental procedures came to the forefront, it was viewed as attractive and was seen by many to be a way to tell who had the money and the power within the community. but now it has taken a different dimension from what it mainly stands for.

Dentists have used gold for filling cavities, for crowns, and for other purposes. Because gold is malleable and nearly immune to corrosion, it had great value in dentistry. In the past, acquiring gold teeth was an expensive dental prosthetic. With the advancements in dentistry, the value of gold teeth has declined. Instead of acquiring permanent gold teeth, many people resort to purchasing grills, i.e. false tooth covers.
