so not only would i look like a scary pirate, apparently in some parts of the world i would appear to be quite wealthy. wikipedia sez: "In certain regions of the world, especially in the former Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus, gold teeth are worn as a status symbol, a symbol of wealth."

my photoshop skillz are incredible!!! hahaha
i think that when i go in for my DOUBLE ROOT CANAL over the break, i will just ask them to replace my bad teeth with some solid gold ones.
