Mouths Are Amazing Things…

Here are some of the most amazing from around the world…The Guinness Book of World Records that is…

The widest mouth measures 17 cm (6.69 in) and belongs to Francisco Domingo Joaquim “Chiquinho” (Angola).

The most teeth in the mouth is 37, achieved by Vijay Kumar V.A (India) (five more than the average adult), as verified in Bangalore, India on 20 September 2014.

For longest tongue we have a few contenders…

Chanel Tapper, a student from California, USA, has the world’s longest tongue, measuring 9.75 cm (3.8 in), from tip to top lip.

…..or a tongue which measures 10.1 cm (3.97 in) from its tip to the middle of the closed top lip belongs to Nick Stoeberl (USA). It was verified in Salinas, California, USA, on 27 November 2012.

The longest tongue on a dog measures 18.58 cm (7.31 in) and belongs to Mochi, a female St. Bernard owned by Carla and Craig Rickert (both USA) and was measured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA, on 25 August 2016.

The widest tongue (female) measures 7.33 cm (2.89 in) at its widest point and belongs to Emily Schlenker (USA), as measured in Syracuse, New York, USA, on 2 November 2014.

The widest tongue (male) measures 8.57 cm (3.37 in) at its widest point and belongs to Byron Schlenker (USA), as measured in Syracuse, New York, USA, on 2 November 2014.

Emily’s Dad!

The largest gape measures 8.8 cm (3.5 in), and was achieved by Bernd Schmidt (Germany) in Wendlinger, Germany, on 17 January 2015.

Think you can beat any of these?

And a bit of bling to finish off…

Guinness World Records has now officially confirmed that the cosmetic dentist Dr. William “Bill” Dorfman has created the world’s Most valuable grill (jewellery), encrusted with diamonds and precious gemstones, it’s no wonder that the intricate grill is worth a hefty $1,000,000 (£758,388).

This dazzling grill may be a bit ostentatious to wear on the daily, but it fits just right in Katy Perry’s extravagant music video for hit single “Dark Horse”, for which it was intended.

Until next time, keep up that Oral Health!
