Poll: Indian celebs with the best and worst teeth!
Vote and tell us who you think has the best million-dollar smile -- and the worst!
Yesterday, we published information on how young Indians care for their teeth along with input from dental health professionals. Today, we bring you a few more famous examples.
Now we all know how much of time, effort and money our stars spend on looking great, but not all of them pay attention to every minute detail -- like sporting a perfect row of pearly-white teeth. So take our poll and tell us know who you think has the best smile and who could seriously do with a complete mouth overhaul!
Vidya Balan
Is it just us or does Vidya have a 'Bharatiya nari' smile? It's shy, coy and charming all at the same time. Honestly, her teeth are so perfect it looks like a little ray of sunshine bounces out of her face each time you see them. Are you listening, Rahul Gandhi?

Shah Rukh Khan
When you endorse a toothpaste without a straight set of teeth, you know you've arrived.
King Khan's son got him to lose flab and look fab, so maybe we should be whispering into Aryan's ear about Daddy's crooked fronters. Who knows, we may just see Shah Rukh in braces next, to rectify the problem.
Wonder if he'll give up the nicotine, though...

Mayawati
Bet you're shocked at this one and so, most likely, will be Mamata Banerjee, who we can just see snarling in envy at Mayawati's glorious fangs.
Wonder whether the teeth on the statues she commissioned will match up to the real thing? Maybe Maya will pay extra for them to beam like Julia Roberts upon her loyal followers.

Ajay Devgan
It's hard finding a pic of Devgan smiling, because it surfaces about as often as Haley's comet and with good reason -- the actor's yellow, tobacco-stained teeth are a sad contrast to wife Kajol's gleaming, impish grin.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Our newly-married Indian skipper has a lot of reasons to be grinning away to glory and we'll never tire of it. Because MS is a winner and has the teeth to match, ones that deserve being put in display often. Hell, he should have a display case made just for them!

Saif Ali Khan
The Chhote Nawab should try bearing as much of his teeth as he can when he gives a smile. Sure, they may be all in a row but man, are they small! Only if you look really, really close can you tell whether Saif's even got any.

Kajol
Her mischievous grin has sold millions in movies and if we were to point out Kajol's best asset after her soulful eyes, it would have to be her million dollar smile. Now if only she cared for Ajay's teeth like she did her own!

Siddharth Mallya
You'd think with all his dad's money Siddharth could afford a better set of chops!
The crooked-toothed youngster is the hottest new bachelor on the scene, wooing the likes of Deepika Padukone, so he better lose that adolescent smile and buy one that's suave and charming like Mallya Senior.

Rahul Gandhi
The Gandhi scion may have turned 40 this year, but he's still one of the most eligible bachelors in the country and every time he flashes those delicious chops of his, he has masses of young girl sighing in unison at his charm. Like us -- sighhhh!

Priyanka Chopra
Talk about big teeth! Piggy Chops is a doll, but when she breaks into a smile, it looks like those fangs of hers could accommodate a head or two easy.
And maybe she should tone it down for the cameras, because who wants to see a grin so wide you can spot tonsils, even if they are Bollywood ones?

Leander Paes
India's least controversial and most successful tennis player has a flashy smile and we mean that in a good way. It looks even better when he's holding up a twinkling trophy, plus it matches his all-white avatar on the courts. Good going, Leander!

Malaika Arora Khan
Malaika's protruding pearlies are so prominent, they arrive in a room a whole ten minutes before her. But maybe she's compensating for hubby Arbaaz's teensy weensy ones that have the effect of not being there at all!

Salman Khan
You'd think the bad boy of Bollywood would be in the 'worst teeth' category, but not so. Sallu bhai has a great set, even though he is known to sink them into his enemies from time to time -- just ask Vivek Oberoi!

Mukesh Ambani
Another millionaire with molars to scoff at!
What Mukeshbhai needs is a good filing, so that he can gleefully grin for the flashbulbs when they come to capture him for the finance pages. That unevenness simply has to disappear!

Genelia D'Souza
The B-Town cutie pie has perfectly proportioned features and her mouth is no exception. She may endorse a chocolate brand, but by the look of her impeccable teeth, it looks like she steers clear of the stuff and brushes after every meal.

Ishant Sharma
This young cricketer should take a page out of Indian captain MS Dhoni's book when it comes to his teeth -- they're all over the place!
Maybe he should spring for a set of braces like they had in the old days, with headgear et al he wouldn't need a helmet on the field anymore!

Rani Mukherjee
If Rani's management were as effective as her dentist, she'd never face a career slump.
When she bears her perfect set, we're glad that it's demure and pretty, unlike a few of her colleagues, who go so wide it looks like they might actually displace their ears.

Amar Singh
You may think former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh has no reason to smile, but what the hell, if you've got it flaunt it. The teeth, we mean.

Aamir Khan
The preternaturally youthful Khan looks decades younger than his actual age. In fact, his naughty grin plays a large role in this 20-going-on-45 appeal, what with his teeth in perfect alignment.

Mamata Banerjee
The grumpy Trinamool Congress head honcho smiles so rarely it hardly matters that her teeth are not in great shape. However, since they aren't, there's really no reason why we should spare her, is there?
Her upper set is deceptive -- it's the lower ones that look like a jigsaw puzzle. And somewhere, we hear a snigger escape the lips of a certain Mrs Gandhi.

Madhuri Dixit
She may have retired from the movie scene, but when it comes to that smile -- ah, that's going to remain in people's minds forever.
In fact, even with all their cosmetic dentistry, none of today's actresses has a patch on Madhuri's naturally lovely teeth.

Pooja Bedi
We're still patting around for our glares, because Pooja's blinding us with her gleeful grin yet again.
Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to realise that her two front teeth seem to start at her forehead. It would help if she could put them away in her pocket -- then everybody would be happy.
And hey, it can be rectified. It's called 'gum alignment' -- look it up!

Baichung Bhutia
Our football skipper isn't far behind Mahendra Singh Dhoni -- his smile is as charming and maybe even more perfectly aligned. Plus, he's good-natured enough for us to see it often, unlike several other gloomy-gus sportsmen we know.

Akshay Kumar
No real complaints here, except that, well, er, the Khiladi's teeth look so razor sharp they could snag a role all by themselves for the next Jaws movie.
Seriously, we're wondering whether he's been watching too much of the Twilight series and filed them down in a bid to look like everyone's fave vampire.

Lara Dutta
Swoon! Her latest toothpaste commercials show her in a reporter avatar, going door to door.
If you ever decide to pursue that line in reality, Lara, we have a place for you at our office, where we can gaze at your gorgeous smile all day and -- you guessed it -- swoon some more.

Fardeen Khan
Ever seen a little ol' lady give you an endearing toothless grin? That kind of reminds us of Fardeen.
That's because his teeth are so tiny, if you saw just a close-up of his mouth, you'd think it was a senior citizen going for the kill! All we can say is, if he loves steak, we're anticipating problems right away.

Vivek Oberoi
With his wedding coming up in two months' time, Vivek another reason to grin from ear to ear. The chocolate boy is every dentist's dream pin-up with a well-kept set of whities.
And is it just us or is he more appealing now that his gums have stopped flapping incessantly?

Dimple Kapadia
The yesteryears actress is still a looker, but she doesn't exactly have a straight row of fangs. And hey, her nicotine habit can't be doing them any good either.
All we can say is, if you've got great dimples you should have a great set of teeth to go with them, ma'am!
