Akha lady from Burma displays her teeth blackening while sailing for the camera. Teeth blackening or teeth lacquering is a custom used to dye one's teeth black. It was most predominantly practiced in Southeast Asian and Oceanic cultures but also among some groups in the Americas, most notably among the Shuar people of northern Peru and Ecuador. Teeth blackening is usually done during puberty. It was primarily done to preserve the teeth into old age, as it prevents tooth decay similar to the mechanism of modern dental sealants. It was believed that only savages, wild animals and demons had long white teeth. The filing and blackening of the teeth was also a popular procedure and assurance that one would not be mistaken for an evil spirit.
