Social media users on Twitter, fans expressed their disgust and made light of Depp’s dental condition. Jokes and memes appeared online comparing actors’ teeth to charcoal.

An online user wrote, “Omg please stop reposting that Johnny Depp teeth image”. 

Another person commented, “Looked like he has eaten a bag of charcoal.”

The artist’s dental health has long been an issue, arising from his candid entry in 2018 about his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. Some have speculated that his compromised dental state could be a consequence of his intent to abuse.

Interestingly, years ago, Depp himself spoke about his decaying teeth in an interview, expressing his fondness for them and his preference for imperfections. He said,

“It’s like a rotten little stub…But I like it. It’s like when the Indians would make something beaded, they would always put imperfections on it.”

In the middle of the criticism, a medical expert stepped forward to clarify the primary reasons behind his dental condition.

Social media boosted speculation and criticism, but in the middle of the chaos, a prominent medical expert stepped forward to provide a helpful understanding of the main causes of the actor’s dental condition.

Dr. Apa, a celebrity dentist known for treating prominent figures like Kendall Jenner and Simon Cowell, shared his professional analysis with Page Six. According to him,

“He has wear, which has been a cumulative effect over a lifetime. Wear like that, sometimes we see it in 30-year-olds in really aggressive cases and sometimes we see it in cases like Depp.” 

To address this issue, he recommended a thorough cleaning, he explained,

I would do veneers because he needs his bite reestablished. He’s worn his teeth down so much.”

Dental veneers, also known as dental porcelain laminates, are thin custom-made coverings that adhere to the front surface of the teeth. They serve to enhance the aesthetic aspects of the teeth, such as color, shape, size, and length.

The doctor also highlighted potential reasons behind the current state of Depp’s teeth, attributing it to his affinity for espresso while speculating that proper cleaning may have been neglected for an extended period.
