Mouth Full Of Golds is a book of caps, fronts, slugs and grills – even diamonds and pearls. This is the illustrated history of New York’s ‘Famous’ Eddie Plein, the golden era of dentistry he ushered in, and the glittering, decorated smiles he left on the leading faces of hip hop – Flavor Flav, Big Daddy Kane, Outkast, et al.
Written by director Lyle Lindgren and Eddie Plein, the book was originally self-published in 2021 and sold out immediately. IDEA Books published a second edition in the UK in 2023, and have now re-issued the book in obi band-wrapped paperback, Japanese Icon book-style, with new energy and an affordable price point, just in time for the 2026 release of the Netflix Mouth Full of Golds documentary.
Foreword by A$AP Ferg, with contributions and interviews from Goldie, Lando Golds, A$AP Rocky, Shirt King Phade, Va$htie, Dr Dax, Just-Ice, Janette Beckman, LYLE LINDGREN, David Da Jeweler, EDDIE PLEIN, Big Gipp, Convertible Burt, Gabby Elan, CeeLo Green, Marc Jacobs and Grillz Jewelz.
