Are Your Teeth a Symptom of Obesity?

We don't automatically think, oh, that girl has good health insurance and doesn't smoke or do meth wet. But when she returns with corrected teeth, all of a sudden she's too big for a retch. In speaking to the telegraph, malcolm gladwell actually cited teeth as the emerging social status signal between rich and poor. And he equated them and the issue of basically dental hygiene and how your teeth appear, with obesity problems. So from his logic, we place the same set of negative social assumptions and stigmas on to people who have less than perfect looking teeth.
