dollars for Lil Wayne's gold and platinum diamond-studded crowns; Also wanted
are Diddy's gold bottom front teeth and Flava Flav's 22K semi-permanent gold
caps top and bottom

There's a new Gold Teeth Rush sweeping the nation

SEATTLE, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- As people struggle to pay bills and put food
on the table in this economic downturn, pawn shops and estate jewelry dealers
are seeing an influx of those looking to cash in their gold caps, fillings and
grills. For years, many hung onto old gold dental work as souvenirs but now
they are making the most of gold's near record prices and selling up.

Four years ago it was a major nationwide trend in major US cities to get gold
teeth, now a lot of those sparkling dentured customers are cashing in to
survive. Celebrities with specialized mouths are worth big bucks. Stars like
Diddy, Lil Wayne, Flava Flav or Nelly are wanted for their teeth as much as
their CD's by fans and jewelers.

Mark Porcello of Porcello Estate Buyers, a 50-year and third generation family
jewelry business, is seeing a wave of customers looking to trade in their old
teeth since the price of gold spiked in February.

"Selling your gold teeth and crowns is an excellent way to bring in a little
extra money for you and your family in these troubled financial times," says
Mark. But he also cautions, "Don't sell to just anyone. Make sure you do
your research and find someone you can trust who will work with your gold in
an honest and professional way."

There are two types of gold teeth: removable teeth known as caps, grills and
gold dental crowns, both of which are sellable. Gold teeth can fetch
thousands depending on how much they weigh.

In the past eight years the price of gold has gone up four times its worth at
an estimated 300% since 2000. Prices in the past weeks fluctuated between
$970 and $940 an ounce. Gold is called a crisis metal because the price rises
in a bad economy.

There are people like Cash Money Records CEO/CO-Founder Bryan "Baby" Williams,
aka Birdman that had a $250,000 platinum with white gold-plated and
diamond-encrusted crowns replaced with a $500,000 set of 18-karat white gold
with some platinum crowns set with ascher-cut diamonds.
