White teeth


Charles' teeth are too white, even by today's unnatural, bleached standards. Actors should take such details seriously.

And the music on this miniseries is gawd-awful.

Yeah - I noticed all those folks had good looking chompers. Maybe their well water had fluoride added? =)

One thing about the movie that gets old fast is some of the choppy camera work.

fluoride makes your teeth brown.

Fluoride only makes your teeth brown when you are overexposed, such as eating tubes of toothpaste when your teeth are develeping. The small amounts in our water does not cause browning or motteling of the teeth.

Yes, I understand that the actors teeth are too white but do you really expect these actors to reverse dental procedures just for 1 role in their career. Most actors do not just bleach their teeth, usually they have more work done such as venners and crowns, that can not just be changed. Its a 3 part mini-seriers. Do you really want to watch actors with yellow rotted teeth playing these roles?

It depends on the city. The city where I was born put a lot of fluoride in their water. They didn't just put a small amount. I don't know if they still do, but I saw an article from 2008 about the town. They still had high amounts of fluoride in their water when the article was published. We moved away when I was very small. I know someone who lives there. I remember that this woman and her husband used to buy water due to the city water turning teeth brown.

Yep, I just flipped to this on the Hallmark Channel and am probably not going to stick with it (came here to check the cast) but that is the first thing I noticed. It's LHOTP as shot for a J. Crew catalog.

I loved these books when I was a kid, I guess there'll never be a broadcast version that's anything like them…

I tuned in mid-way through the begining. When the agry natives first came to the house and everyone was outside, I thought to myself.."His teeth[the chanting/yeepeeing native] are way to white!"

Yep---stood out like a sore thumb.

Wouldn't hurt to yellow the teeth with CGI.
