From Word Nerd:

Gigglemug is Victorian slang for a habitually smiling face. Gigglemug is derived from giggle (laughing in a silly way) and mug (face).

Seriously, I hate it when people show big white teeth ALL THE TIME (I'm also a bit jealous that nothing seems to exist to whiten my own teeth)

Andrea, Oh my, I better be careful since I have started to smile a lot lately. Our lives can be difficult at times and makes us a bit nuts when we see happy people. I have experienced that feeling many, many times in my life and this poem hits home. I have noticed there are a lot of very unhappy people in circulation.

Because of a weird condition I acquired as a side effect of a medicine I never even needed, I must constantly use a mouth guard now. I have to remove it just to smile for pictures. As luck would have it, my bone structure is such that my upper teeth hardly show when I am speaking Thus, I am happy not to have big showy teeth. But when I see unnaturally white teeth. I find it annoying.

She/he might have some kind of artificial teeth/teeth covering that is white. LOL..Brush with baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and toothpaste once week. Wet the toothbrush with the hp, then dip it in baking soda and then put the toothpaste on it. It will remove a lot of stains from tea, coffee, juice or wine. Sara K

Yeah, I wish I could afford those things. I think they are implants or something. I have used baking soda and many whitening products. Honestly I can see no difference to my teeth, not even when I got them done by a dentist. Anyway, it does not matter much. My mouth problem causes me to have to wear an old ugly mouthguard, and it's kind of a relief that my top teeth only show if I laugh or smile, so I take out the mouthguard for pictures!!

Yep, I hear you. I would settle for any tooth, to be able to chew again. Not many of mine left come together properly anymore. You have to mortgage your house to be able to afford dental work now days. Very witty write. Best of luck in contest.

No kidding!! But I just heard through Medicare, that older retired people can pay 30 a month for dental insurance that will cover EVERYTHING. You just have to get it a year prior to using it. I may consider it if my teeth ever start to go really bad.
