Mum & Nan.
Can't get over how Mum & I had the same smile when she was younger.
But she was cursed with bad teeth. Not the front ones. And like many of her era she's spent a fortune at the dentist just to maintain them. And she really, really takes care of them.
But she became self-conscious because she ended up with so much work done on her back teeth.

Hard to say where my robust chompers came from because diet, smoking and the cost of dental care did take a toll on the Grandparents. Note: no fillings, no teeth extracted and no dental work to this date. I thank you. 'Cept it has to be luck in my case.

ETA - unfortunate flaw on photo means it looks like Nanny is missing a tooth.
She's not, but hated smiling in photos because nicotine had stained her teeth brown.
