I’ve got a friend who wants grills. I’ve been under the impression they’re temporary, which I thought would be okay because when she’s trying to get a job she can take them out. But, she’s saying she’s getting permanent ones like Lil’ Wayne. I’m worried she’s going to regret that decision. I’m hoping she’s wrong and she can’t get them permanently placed. Did he get dental implants? That would be surgery. She tends to make really stupid decisions.

Dear Stacey,
While you’re right that most grills are removable, there are some which are permanently placed. You’re right, like dental implants, it does require surgery.
Lil’ Wayne has admitted that on a show with Jimmy Kimmel, as you can see here.
Hopefully, your friend has a good dentist who will help her think through the type of issues you brought up. She certainly has a good friend who is looking out for her.
The dentist should remind her that Lil’ Wayne is in a career where grills can be an asset, at least today. Trends change all the time. Maybe your friend will make a smarter decision than you’re giving her credit for.
