Odontophilia is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to teeth. This attraction can manifest in various ways, including a fascination with the appearance, condition, or even the act of dental care and hygiene.

Individuals with odontophilia may find certain features, such as the shape, size, or health of teeth, particularly arousing. This can encompass both natural teeth and dental enhancements, such as braces or veneers. For some, the focus might extend to the sounds associated with dental activities, like the sounds of brushing or the use of dental tools.

In practice, odontophilia may also overlap with other interests or kinks, such as those related to oral activities or oral sexuality, where the mouth and teeth play a significant role. Understanding odontophilia within the broader spectrum of sexual interests is crucial, as it highlights the diverse ways in which attraction can manifest in human sexuality.

Odontophilia

Odontophilia refers to a sexual attraction or arousal related to teeth or dental-related activities. This paraphilia involves a strong interest or fetishization of teeth, often manifesting in sexual fantasies, behaviors, or preferences. Individuals with odontophilia may find activities such as dental examinations, braces, or specific dental procedures sexually stimulating. It is important to note that like all fetishes and paraphilias, odontophilia should only be explored consensually and ethically within appropriate boundaries.
