Ranging in price from about $200 up to $50,000 or more, grills, also known as golds or fronts, are removable gold or platinum teeth that fit over real teeth that became popular in the ’80s among underground hip hop artists, said Kevin Coffey, fashion editor for hip-hop magazine XXL.
Snap-on grills do not fit particularly well in and around the teeth, he said, allowing food and bacteria to get trapped underneath, which can cause cavities or other problems like gum disease or gum recession.
Other dangers include allergic reactions to cheap metals and adverse reactions to jewelry cleaners, which can burn gums.
Nelly Grillz Lyrics
(feat. Paul Wall, Ali, Gipp)
Rob the jewelry store and tell em make me a grill.

All invisible set n little ice cube blocks
If I could call it a drink,call it a smile on da rocks
If I could call out a price, lets say I call out a lot

I'm changin grillz everyday, like jay change clothes,
I might be grilled out nicely(oh) In my white teeth (oh),
