Enamel Has left the chat.

I demand this level of treatment everytime I have to go to the dentist
-
When the dentist hits my nerve with the drill I jump in pain, I can’t even imagine this
-
it’s so interesting to hear gek talk about nikes and brands and “haters” and being a virgo and a millennial while about to undergo this ceremony. she seems to be aware of its complications, too. very strange how the internet culture that she seems to be a part of doesn’t exactly clash with her own.

"They say not to smile except in the mirror or else you'll be cursed!" huge smile lol

Nice one, Vice. I've been fortunate enough to attend a closing ceremony for a similar ritual and it's a lot of fun!
-
This was a beautiful short! Such a lush green place! Her and her sisters and her mother all looked so good, like royalty! I love the head dresses they are immaculate. Such a wonderful ceremony, this is a amazing and beautiful tradition😊
-
Nice to see cultural traditions kept alive
-
I was drawn to this video by first reading about the ceremony in a 1969 issue of National Geographic. In the magazine it appears that they are really filing quite a bit from the teeth, but in this video, it appears that the filing is fairly light. Is there a difference between then and now? Is there really an intention to alter the teeth, or is this really much more ceremonial? It seems to me to be the latter.

Such a wonderful tradition and they all looks so gorgeous 🌾🌺🥰

interesting to learn about this culture, through this ritual, big thanks to the comments/perspective of the main girl in this video...about what this may represent in the bigger picture.
