Depp has past spoken about his dental health nearly three decades back, telling Premiere magazine in 1995 that he had ‘loads of cavities’ by the age of 31.

‘I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub,’ he said at the time. ‘When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall. I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!’

The report noted at the time that Depp had a penchant for smoking cigarettes and drinking merlot wine, which could impact the appearance of his teeth.
