Grillz - do they make your mouth smell?
Listen on
Episode notes
Gold teeth and grillz were once something most frequently seen on black hip hop artists or TV gangsters, but in more recent years are more widely worn by people from all different cultures.
We are joined by Solange Garcia and Tania Townsend from Milk and Honey London and Donnie Sunshine to discuss the history of dental adornments - from Ancient Etruscans to liberated American slaves, and why they are so popular today.
