Dave Roelvink is back in the ring

New week, new gossip about Dave Roelvink. Fortunately, this time it’s not that he was shouting again at Museumplein (“WAJO dude”), no, this time it’s a lot more innocent. There is actually a lot of talk about his teeth. Yes, you read that right: teeth.

Because as you may have noticed if you've seen even one photo of Dave Roelvink in recent years, he has veneers. And those veneers are not only perfectly straight but also dazzlingly white. It's clear that he didn't go for a natural look, but that's perfectly fine of course.

What makes sense then is that people have all sorts of opinions about it — as is always the case. For example, Sander Schimmelpenninck wrote in his column that Dave Roelvink might want to look like a drug dealer since his teeth are so white. This raises the following question for me: is that true? Can you recognize drug dealers by their shiny white teeth, or veneers? I must say I don't often deal with them, Sander Schimmelpenninck clearly does more, but I didn't know that the whitest teeth were characteristic of drug dealers.

Well, Dave Roelvink didn't know that either. He reacted today on Frank Dane's radio show to the statement and wasn't entirely pleased. Especially not because they met once and Sander apparently was very nice to his face and now writes behind his back that he looks like a drug dealer. Or resembles one. Dave reportedly sent him a message, but so far there has been no response. “Cowardly wimp,” is Dave's conclusion.

Well, I wonder why Sander Schimmelpenninck felt the need to describe this in his column, but it apparently had an effect. Dave is letting it be known today in his Stories that he — you’ll never guess — is on his way to make his teeth a bit yellower. So he is indeed going for that more natural look. He won't be confused on the street with just any drug dealer anymore. That's also quite nice.
