Johnny Depp's past confessions reveal long-standing dental woes

Johnny Depp's sparkling smile marks a significant shift from just a year ago when his dental hygiene became a hot topic after he was spotted at the Cannes Film Festival with visibly damaged teeth.

Back then, social media was abuzz with criticism, with some users describing his teeth as "rotting" and "painted black," as per Daily Mail. Depp himself has admitted to dental struggles in the past, once revealing that he had "loads of cavities" by the age of 31.

"I had a root canal done eight years ago that's unfinished. It's like a rotten little stub," told the Golden Globe winner to Premiere Magazine in 1995. He added, "When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall. I'd rather swallow a tick than have that!"

The report mentioned that Depp's fondness for smoking cigarettes and drinking merlot wine might have contributed to the appearance of his teeth.

But now, with his new smile, it seems the actor is putting those days behind him—and his fans couldn’t be happier.

Fans swoon over Johnny Depp's new smile

Fans were quick to notice the change in Johnny Depp's appearance, flooding social media platforms with praise for his rejuvenated look. 

One wrote, "He looks great," and another offered, "I don't think he has veneers. I think he had a good cleaning and whitening."

"Oh Jerrie...He looks so relaxed and HAPPY. This made my heart happy as well!" expressed a fan. 

A person wondered, "He got veneers or just whitened his teeth? I always loved his smile, to me he just needed a little brightening if anything."

"His smile is different because of his teeth, he misses the gap between his teeth, but he is happy that is all that matters," stated one more. 

Another person mentioned, "He's got new dentures or fake teeth. The brown manky teeth his fans were busy defending have gone."
