Teeth Fetish (odontophilia)
A dental fetish, known scientifically as odontophilia, can manifest in diverse ways. Individuals may experience sexual arousal from the visual characteristics of atypical teeth, may possess a compulsion to engage in licking their partner’s teeth, or may derive pleasure from scenarios involving tooth extraction. For certain odontophiles, there exists a potential intersection with other paraphilias discussed herein, such as the practices of biting and vampire-related interests.
Furthermore, dental fetishism can be considered a niche within the broader category of medical fetishes. In this context, the allure often centers less on the teeth themselves and more on the feelings of vulnerability that arise when a patient is seated in a dental chair, mouth agape, and subjected to the examination and use of various dental instruments.
