When looking up different resource on dental esthetics I came up with my topic. My topic Is The Perception of dental esthetics in Africa. I found numerous information. Three articles that stuck out the most were based on the oral health in South Africa and how teeth were developed. In the early stages of life many african use to shave their teeth. This was a sign of what tribe they belong to and define them as a person. In article two people discus the perceptions of beauty. What it really meant to them they did many surveys in schools. In Africa their teeth are very important to them. Beauty has a wide spectrum to it and Africa shares it different views.
