but not The insertion of gems into teeth has long predated hip hop culture, with rich Mayans drilling pieces of jade into their teeth.[9] Hip hop artists began wearing grills in the early 1980s;[3] New Yorker Eddie Plein, owner of Eddie's Gold Teeth, is often credited with starting the trend.[3][10] Plein made gold caps for Flavor Flav, and then outfitted New York rappers including Big Daddy Kane and Kool G. Rap.[3][10] He later moved to Atlanta, where he designed ever-more-elaborate grills for rappers like OutKast, Goodie Mob, Ludacris, and Lil Jon.[3][10] Other writers have cited Slick Rick as an important early contributor to the popularity of grills.[5][6]
Grills remained popular in the Southern U.S., especially in Houston or Memphis, even as they rose and fell from popularity elsewhere,[5] and the rise of Dirty South rappers in the 2000s spurred a nationwide grill trend.[3] During this time, grills frequently appeared in hip hop music, most notably in the 2005 number one single "Grillz," by Nelly, Paul Wall, Big Gipp, and Ali, and in other Paul Wall songs.[8] Wall is known for his grill business as well as his rapping; his clients include Kanye West and Cam'ron.[8]
Grills maintained their popularity into the 2010s, with French grillmaker Dolly Cohen creating custom oral jewelry for Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, and Rita Ora.[11]

Slaves had golds if you really wanna keep it a buck.
Yeah, I've read that gold teeth helped distinguish free Blacks from enslaved Blacks
That and to distinguish whose slave you were. Slaves from different plantations had different gold teeth.
Idk but golds not fronts, huge difference, always been big in Miami and South Florida.
