well, this picture goes to show that perhaps cambodia needs to educate our people on the importance of dental hygiene like simply brushing the teeth daily, etc... otherwise, after 15 years, you will lose all of your teeth like this lady. please, khmer people brush and floss your teeth daily so you will have beautiful smile. please help to educate everyone on dental cleanliness and hygiene as well. (remember, beauty is not just the outer appearance, its the inside i.e. the heart as well). this beautiful lady looks like you has a beautiful heart. god bless her and cambodia and all our beautiful khmer people.
