"This adventure wasn’t so carefree. The cocaine wars were in their dying stages, but violence was rampant. Every corner shop had an armed guard. I’m talking ice cream shops, not banks. The school where John and I taught had a metal gate and armed guard turrets. There were men milling outside the gates with Italian suits, bad dental work and machine guns. They were the students’ bodyguards. "
What does "bad dental work" mean in this paragraph?
Bad teeth? Bad accent?
@Justin Xu,
yes, bad teeth... crooked, possibly discolored.
perhaps a few teeth are missing... maybe there's even a gold tooth in there...
@Justin Xu,
"Bad dental work" means bad teeth, yes, but it implies a dentist had previously worked on the teeth, without getting a good result.
The dentist's work was bad. The teeth look bad.
