It's a real hazard, and good to be aware of it. There are a lot of nuggets out there, but panning for them can be a lot of work and sometimes you just wind up wet and cold. Or you log on next morning and find yourself having impulsively signed up for a piano tuning course when you were really just looking for advice on cleaning brushes.

I was looking for some tips on how to paint teeth for a portrait.

This site has a "Search" function, which sometimes calls up a lot more than you wanted to know, but after rapidly skimming the thread titles in the Search results, you would in this case eventually find an informative and unusually extensive presentation of observations and advices on this topic:

For the price (free), you can't beat it, but good time management requires that you do kind of have to get in, get what you're after, and get out. Or else add "Piano Tuning" to your "Portrait Artist" business card.
