Firmino’s Extra White Teeth

Ever wondered how footballer’s teeth stay so perfect? Ever wonder who has the whitest teeth in all of football (soccer)? You’d have to say it’s Liverpool and Brazilian forward Firmino. The Liverpool forward has the whitest teeth in all of soccer. Some defenders are thrown off by Firmino’s extra white teeth. They are blinded for a moment when they catch a glimpse of his teeth and Firmino is able to run past them. Not really but his teeth are blindingly white!

How did Firmino’s teeth get so white? Firmino didn’t just want white teeth, he wanted and got extra white teeth. Firmino’s teeth are so white they almost blind you if you look directly at them. Firmino went for the maximo white for his teeth. And why not.

In this episode of Player Makers, BBC Sport meets Robbie Hughes who is the dentist responsible for the teeth of Liverpool players and staff such as Jurgen Klopp, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

In this video he explains how each treatment is personalised to the individual and how his connection to the club came about.

“When it comes to choosing colour we have shades 4, 3, 2, 1 – with one being the whitest. Roberto seen the chart and asked for “maximo” – beyond one! We created that colour for him.”
