What is a Fangsmith?
One who has studied and practiced
the art thoroughly.
Only after an extensive
apprenticeship and numerous hours of
hands on
experience is one deemed a fangsmith.
I have been making fangs since 1997.
I also trained with Father Vincent
(Master Fangsmith NYC), in 1999.
I have been deemed a Master
Fangsmith by my peers.
What are they made of?
Dental Acrylic
If you are having fangs made, make
sure you ask what the fangs are made
of. Some untrained individuals are using
fingernail acrylic to make fangs.
DO NOT LET ANYONE PUT FINGERNAIL
ACRYLIC IN YOUR MOUTH!
IT IS HIGHLY TOXIC!
I have heard unconfirmed reports of
at least two deaths due to this
practice.
I only use high quality dental
acrylic in my fangs.
It is the same material that is used
to make dentures.
Custom Fangs
My fangs can only be worn by the
individual they are made for. Your
fangs will not fit on another
person's tooth.
They are held in place by suction
and a perfect fit. Normally,
adhesive is not necessary.
Only a small percentage of clients
(less than 5 percent) need adhesive,
due to unique nature of their teeth.
What you should & shouldn't do:
Enjoy your fangs for the years they
will last you with proper care.
Drink all you like (not blood
silly), just don't chew your ice.
Always keep your fangs in a case
when not in your mouth.
I recommend a plastic contact case.
They also keep them separate so you
don't put the right one on the wrong
tooth.
With misuse you will be back to see
me in no time.
Do not eat (food or people) with
your fangs.
They are for esthetics and will
break with significant pressure.
Do not sleep with your fangs in.
You may grind your teeth and break
them or they may dislodge in your
mouth and choke you.
Wouldn't that be ironic?
