and not just for a dentist\u2019s ears.\u00a0 According to the Russian model turned reality TV star, the pressure to stay thin was so immense that she witnessed her peers turn bulimic, use cocaine to make their cheeks hollow.\u00a0 Worst of all, some of the girls &#8220;pulled out their teeth to look thinner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pull their teeth out?\u00a0 Is permanently extracting perfectly healthy teeth and putting oneself at risk for oral infection really necessary?\u00a0 Apparently, some supermodels thought so.\u00a0 It is both alarming and painful to hear that these young women, aged as young as 16, felt the need to inflict harm and dental damage to themselves.\u00a0 So what is being done about it?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looking back at her modeling years, Elizarova admits that models clearly possess a warped vision of what the \u2018perfect\u2019 body is.\u00a0 Unfortunately the standards have forced them to think this way.\u00a0 It also has become a popular belief that models get paid enormous sums of money.\u00a0 Certain supermodels do, yes &#8212; the recognizable ones.\u00a0 But there are thousands of other models that aren\u2019t making the big bucks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elizarova explained some models were worse off than you\u2019d think, with agencies not paying them for months at a time.\u00a0 When this happens, the models can\u2019t eat anything even if they wanted to because food isn\u2019t affordable.\u00a0 Unfortunately, under these circumstances, when models are offered a \u2018free dinner\u2019 from a gentleman at a club, they\u00a0 will take up the offer, leading themselves into an environment of alcohol and drug use.\u00a0 It\u2019s a vicious cycle affecting models all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, some efforts are being made to promote health among models.\u00a0 Vogue launched its Health Initiative which has appeared in 19 editions of the magazine.\u00a0 According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/style\/\">Style List<\/a>, the initiative is \u201cprohibiting children under 16 from posing as adults, capping a workday at 10 hours and making sure the models receive prompt pay, proper meal times and frequent breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Council of Fashion Designers in America (CFDA) has also updated their guidelines \u201cto address models at risk of developing eating disorders and help those with problems seek professional help,\u201d reports <a href=\"https:\/\/to%20address%20models%20at%20risk%20of%20developing%20eating%20disorders%20and%20help%20those%20with%20problems%20seek%20professional%20help.\">The Huffington Post.<\/a>\u00a0 Some countries are taking further action like Israel, for example, which recently passed a law that bans models who are too-thin from runway shows or advertisements of any sort.\u00a0 Meanwhile, models still put pressure on themselves to appear a certain way that only ends up harming their bodies and health in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To any and all young girls out there trying to pursue a career in modeling, please take Elizarova\u2019s warnings to heart.\u00a0 And don\u2019t, whatever you do, pull out your teeth!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/about_doc_0211-e1286412992686.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/about_doc_0211-e1286412992686-146x150.jpg\" alt=\"about_doc_0211-e1286412992686\" width=\"146\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Dr. Mike Malone\u00a0and his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/about_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">team<\/a>\u00a0practice expert cosmetic dentistry in Lafayette, LA.
