Reports indicate that women in West African country
of Senegal are briskly tattooing their gum for what they call a “beautiful smile.”
It is
reported that mainly women in the capital, Dakar are really engaging in this
new practice to make their gum look dark.
The gums of these women are tattooed with a mixture
of burnt oil and shea butter and they [women] admit the dark colour gives them
a very beautiful smile and improves the health of their gum.
Meanwhile, a cross section of the Senegalese society has
since criticized this act stating that it will rather worsen their health of
many in the society.
But is there any scientific proof to this new practice?
