Ed Helms<\/strong><\/p>\n

So no, Ed Helms did not actually pull his tooth for the movie The Hangover. But, his celebrity dental fun fact is that he is actually missing that tooth in the movie and in real life! Ed Helms permanent front tooth never came in, when this happens we call the tooth congenitally missing. At a younger age, he had an implant placed to replace the congenitally missing tooth. For the movie he had the implant crown removed and a black prosthetic placed to make it look like he was missing a tooth. When he wasn\u2019t on set he had a removable appliance he could put in to make it appear the tooth was in place. After filming ended he had a new crown made and permanently inserted to replace the tooth again. \u00a0Now that\u2019s what we call dedication to the role!<\/p>\n

Jim Carrey<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Jim Carrey was in grade school a classmate jumped on him<\/a> causing his front tooth to fracture off. For his role in Dumb and Dumber<\/em>, he convinced his dentist to remove the filling<\/a> to make the tooth chipped again for the role! \u00a0After the movie ended he had the filling replaced to return to his normal smile. \u00a0We applaud him for the lengths he went through and can\u2019t imagine this movie without that signature smile!<\/p>\n

Julia Roberts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julia Roberts is known for her famous, large, pearly smile but she holds a fun dental fact. Julia\u2019s former home town dentist encouraged all the children in her town to excel. \u00a0If one of his former patients won a major award he promised a tube of toothpaste to every child in town. On March 21, 2001, Julia Roberts received the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Erin Brockovich. Anticipating her win, her dentist had ordered 10,000 tubes of toothpaste!<\/p>\n

John Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most expensive tooth to date is one belonging to former Beatles\u2019 member John Lennon. After having the tooth extracted Lennon supposedly allowed his housekeeper<\/a> to give the tooth to her Beatles enthusiastic daughter. The tooth sold at an auction in 2011 for $31,200 to a Canadian dentist. \u00a0That\u2019s a lot of bang for one buck tooth!<\/p>\n

Katy Perry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of expensive teeth, this next celebrity dental fun fact was so pricey it set a record! Singer, Katy Perry, wanted to add some bling to her music video, Dark Horse. Instead of just using the usual boring jewelry, she decided to work with her dentist to come up with a grill for her teeth. The custom grill has massive amounts of diamonds and precious gemstones on it. \u00a0It\u2019s loaded with so many jewels that it is valued as the most expensive grill in the world according to Guinness World Records, at a whopping $1 million!<\/p>\n

Mick Jagger<\/strong><\/p>\n

When speaking of flashy celebrity dental facts we have to include rock and roller Mick Jagger. \u00a0Mick had an emerald gemstone placed on one of his upper incisors. After people kept thinking he had spinach caught between his teeth he decided to change it to a ruby. Although nobody thought he had spinach caught in his teeth anymore, they did think he had blood on his teeth! He finally settled on a diamond to jazz up his smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
