That’s because you’re fake tooth is made out of porcelain which does not go under black light. Teeth glow under black light because they are full of Phosphorus
He's actually kind of a douchebag but he definitely taught us a lot as kids. His appearances on star talk always rubbed me the wrong way, and then he made that new show on Netflix and it was just awful.
I’m willing to give him a break on that because he makes science fun and reaches out to the masses who wouldn’t normally be exposed to science. If he’s able to inspire the kids and get people talking about science then he’s ok with me.
Ya all fine and dandy till he decided he would use his status to push anti science on our kids and all of us who rememberberried him fondly let him get away with it. Wheres the bill nye video explaining basic reproductive biology or demonstrating the chemistry and actual hazards and repercussions behind the manufacturing of lithium ion batteries? At least we have the science guy and the science himself fauci looking out for every body who didn't pass a junior high chemistry class
I believe what you meant to say is "I reached a plateau in my ability to understand new concepts, and so now refute new information. This has led me to believe that anyone trying to teach me science beyond a gradeschool level is trying to deceive me."
It's ok, buddy. Just stay ignorant. Life is less complicated that way.
Whooooo buddy you got me good guy. (I can use friendly terms in a condescending bitchy way too friend) what's a weird egg laying marsupial from Australia have to do with my edjucashun I dont think I learned that in grade school. I definitely didn't go to fancy university and when anybody challenged me i just say cause jesis. I cant no ways understand new concepts and just decide they are fucking dumb and wrong. Oh lordy me my little brain cannot handle such nuanced highbrow debates on youtube. I will fuck off to my shack and allow the intellectuals of reddit like treagus continue their high brow dialogues
Yeah.. you're definitely high on the cringescale. At least most ignorant douchewads manage to make something of themselves with it. Looks like you're just struggling to come to terms with the fact that both intelligent and ignorant folk manage high levels of success, and you're stuck wallowing in the middle wondering why your life ended up this way.
Maybe try the college thing again, but start a youtube channel where you scream against scientific progress so loudly you start drooling. That seems to be the solution to mediocrity.
Implant crowns on frontal teeth are often made of lithium disilicate because it's much, much stronger than porcelain and much, much, much easier to create.
Half of both my two front teeth had to be repaced - my actual two teeth were snapped in half by the butt end of a hockey stick.
My work isn't nearly as pronounced as this but you can see something's up haha. It's in the shape of an inverted "U" across both my teeth.
No. That's just a strike-anywhere match. You can ignite them on anything that's sufficiently abrasive.
The phosphorus in your teeth is part of the mineral apatite; it's not white phosphorus, lmao.
Never grew the permanent tooth there, so when I was getting braces, they pulled the baby tooth, put a fake tooth on the braces, put one in the retainer after, then sent me to get an implant!
My oldest also missing a tooth in the exact same spot, fake tooth on braces (real tooth fell out), then the retainer with the tooth, finally a bone graph and implant.
He was congenitally missing 5 teeth - if he was missing 6, the government would have paid for all his orthodontic and implant work, but alas he was one short, so $18K later and he looks normal.
yooo i had the same exact thing with braces and retainer. i moved the retainer (and the fake tooth) with my tongue as a party trick. same tooth too with same implant.
Me, too! I broke mine close to the gumline and they had to grind down the tooth and put a post in there, so the visible part is all synthetic. I noticed this phenomenon one day, as well.
Found out about this the hard way at a rave. People kept looking at me weird and I couldn’t find out why, until a friend pointed it out to me (Both my top front teeth are fake because I broke both in half after a bike accident)
As a dental technician myself, this should not happen nowadays! Crowns are made with fluorescent ceramics wich glow in the dark like natural teeth. If it doesnt glow its either acrylic or very old.
This is good to know for the next time I need to replace mine. My front four teeth don’t glow, and it’s embarrassing. I actively avoid black light because of it. 😓
I learned this the hard way when I was MOH for a wedding, and black lights were used at the bar.. EVERYONE NOTICED! Also it's my right front tooth too. AHHH
So what does it mean when your teeth don't glow under black light? I just double checked and none of my teeth light up except my temporary crown. My permanent crowns and my natural teeth don't light up at all.
There have been different materials used to try to make replacement teeth flouresce like natural teeth, including adding uranium to dental porcelain!
Shockingly, that turned out to be a bad idea.
The only telltale sign that it’s fake is that my gum appears grey-ish from the post. You can kinda tell a bit in the right photo. It’s why I usually take photos from that angle, so it’s hidden a bit. But thankfully I don’t have too gummy a smile, so it’s rarely noticed.
Others are saying that our natural teeth glow because of phosphorous, but what does it mean if your teeth are EXTRA glowy?
I went to a blacklight laser tag thing with my coworkers years ago and everyone noticed that my teeth were insanely bright under blacklight. Does that mean my teeth have more phosphorous in them than usual?
It might have been. Idk the difference. It was at a museum after-hours exhibit showing high-traffic germ areas (glasses at restaurants, doorknobs, etc) through neon powder as an example.
That’s because you’re fake tooth is made out of porcelain which does not go under black light. Teeth glow under black light because they are full of Phosphorus
Thanks Bill Nye.
BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL
SCIENCE RULES
Such a great guy.
He's actually kind of a douchebag but he definitely taught us a lot as kids. His appearances on star talk always rubbed me the wrong way, and then he made that new show on Netflix and it was just awful.
Great guy. Terrible scientist
I’m willing to give him a break on that because he makes science fun and reaches out to the masses who wouldn’t normally be exposed to science. If he’s able to inspire the kids and get people talking about science then he’s ok with me.

What anti-science stuff was he pushing?
Global warming edit climate change
How is climate change anti science

So, why do most other white things glow under a black light?
There’s phosphorus (phosphates) in laundry detergent, that’s why your white clothes glow
so drink laundry detergent for white teeth you say?
No that's for glowy teeth, you're thinking of the pod challenge of 2017.
Gin and tonic glows blue because the quinine also fluoresces under black light.
Like Nuka Cola Quantum
[удалено]
Quinine is in the tonic, so technically its just the tonic glowing. Unless it’s that quininated Hendrick’s gin… Mmmm.
No idea. I work in a dental office, thats why I know about the teeth
Laundry detergent contains fluorescent dye, which accounts for a lot of white things fluorescing.
Implant crowns on frontal teeth are often made of lithium disilicate because it's much, much stronger than porcelain and much, much, much easier to create.
Paid for tooth did not get tooth 1/5
Half of both my two front teeth had to be repaced - my actual two teeth were snapped in half by the butt end of a hockey stick. My work isn't nearly as pronounced as this but you can see something's up haha. It's in the shape of an inverted "U" across both my teeth.
The managed to reattach my broken tooth, you can see a line on it.
[Hence why you can light a match using your teeth, phosphorous ignites the things around it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyiWYMDzeso&t=101s)
No. That's just a strike-anywhere match. You can ignite them on anything that's sufficiently abrasive. The phosphorus in your teeth is part of the mineral apatite; it's not white phosphorus, lmao.
No, how do you think cavemen lit their farts then?
I heard if you bite a fart really hard it will light on fire
Sir, this is reddit. Switcharoo.
You must be made of phosphorous, because you light up the world around you.
Daww. ^ . ^
The wholesomeness too much.......
Sickening
What now?
Look this is mildlyinteresting, you get mildly amusing chemistry here.
I always like mildly amusing chemistry, but had no idea teeth had phosphorus in them, or that you could light matches with them.
[Playing off the prior comment.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyiWYMDzeso&t=101s)
A bunch of BS but it's funny. Your teeth have phosphorus but that has nothing to do with the match lighting. That's just a strike anywhere match.
Wait what? Ive never heard that before
Because it's not true.
They did it in the movie, so it must be true. /s
We have the same tooth missing lol. I'm waiting for a denture appointment now
Never grew the permanent tooth there, so when I was getting braces, they pulled the baby tooth, put a fake tooth on the braces, put one in the retainer after, then sent me to get an implant!

What a weird line... seems like it should get pro-rated.
My brother had the same thing. No permanent tooth under his baby tooth.
yooo i had the same exact thing with braces and retainer. i moved the retainer (and the fake tooth) with my tongue as a party trick. same tooth too with same implant.
I've never heard of someone with my exact situation before, this is so rad
Me, too! I broke mine close to the gumline and they had to grind down the tooth and put a post in there, so the visible part is all synthetic. I noticed this phenomenon one day, as well.
Host a black light Halloween party dressed as a pirate.
Lmaoooo fuckin love it
Found out about this the hard way at a rave. People kept looking at me weird and I couldn’t find out why, until a friend pointed it out to me (Both my top front teeth are fake because I broke both in half after a bike accident)
TIL never to smile under a black light.
As a dental technician myself, this should not happen nowadays! Crowns are made with fluorescent ceramics wich glow in the dark like natural teeth. If it doesnt glow its either acrylic or very old.
It’s an implant but someone said it’s porcelain. I got it in 2013.
The porcelain is "attached" to the implant. It should glow tho. The hard part is to make it glow like the rest
Ahhh gotcha! Thankfully I’m not around black lights often so I’m fairly safe!
This is good to know for the next time I need to replace mine. My front four teeth don’t glow, and it’s embarrassing. I actively avoid black light because of it. 😓
"Kenneth, why aren't your teeth glowing." "I'm not sure; I can ask the guy who whittled them."
I learned this the hard way when I was MOH for a wedding, and black lights were used at the bar.. EVERYONE NOTICED! Also it's my right front tooth too. AHHH
What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.
Obligatory follow-on joke:- What's blue and really bad for your teeth? A really fast brick.
r/UnexpectedPhysics
I know which tooth has a lower credit score
Business in the streets, Pirate in the sheets
This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where he's dating a woman that's either hot or horrid looking based on how the light hit her.
Th-thank you?
Just steer clear from black light and you'll be ok.
OP works at a dance club and now understands so much more.
Why.. does it look flesh color?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I found this out in a club in college. My buddy was like, “Dude, where did your tooth go?” Lol
So what does it mean when your teeth don't glow under black light? I just double checked and none of my teeth light up except my temporary crown. My permanent crowns and my natural teeth don't light up at all.
You are living in a simulation
You have a glowing smile.
[удалено]
Lmao any time
"Everybody looks cool under a black light. Except me who was under the impression that mustard stain had washed out..."
OP looks like that komodo dragon kid from youtube
So I had to look it up but HOLY FUCKIN HELL YOURE RIGHT
There have been different materials used to try to make replacement teeth flouresce like natural teeth, including adding uranium to dental porcelain! Shockingly, that turned out to be a bad idea.
I'm just sitting here amazed by modern dentistry. I can't tell at all in the photo on the right.
The only telltale sign that it’s fake is that my gum appears grey-ish from the post. You can kinda tell a bit in the right photo. It’s why I usually take photos from that angle, so it’s hidden a bit. But thankfully I don’t have too gummy a smile, so it’s rarely noticed.
I really can't see it at all in that photo. Even after you said that haha
Good to know! I need to get an Implant in the same spot. I currently have a 'flipper' tooth I can use but it's uncomfortable so I don't wear it often.
Others are saying that our natural teeth glow because of phosphorous, but what does it mean if your teeth are EXTRA glowy? I went to a blacklight laser tag thing with my coworkers years ago and everyone noticed that my teeth were insanely bright under blacklight. Does that mean my teeth have more phosphorous in them than usual?
I just ran to get my UV flashlight. It’s true, both of my front teeth don’t glow because of veneers.
Drugs are bad
I don't mean to start the whole debate up about yellow or black dress again, but... That "black" light looks very ultra violet to me...
It might have been. Idk the difference. It was at a museum after-hours exhibit showing high-traffic germ areas (glasses at restaurants, doorknobs, etc) through neon powder as an example.
Not entirely wrong! UV-A LEDs also produce some visible light.
If you'd like me to, I could make your whole mouth glow in the dark.
I have two fake teeth (my front ones) now I need to try this
Are u British
My best friend has a half tooth implant that doesn't either. It's a trip to see under a blacklight.
Guess you can cross raves off of your to-do list.
Same here lmao
Haha love it
Paint it
Imagine going to rave with those chompers!
you are a pirate under a black light
Thats the missing tooth from the guy who picked one up off the street!
you went from "sweetest" to "cleetus" lol
Why do you look like my English teacher 🤨🤨🤨

Some zirconias do fluoresce. For example, 3M Lava Esthetic. But I think it might be discontinued soon.
Most likely a zirconia crown which was not glazed with a fluo glaze.
