I guess it can be considered an issue, but I (me personally) don't value it or worry about it as much as the braids thing. See one part of this debate it Braids are okay for some (women) and not for others (men), but GOLD TEETH. Well like doggystyle said about male braids (hope I am not mis quoting) ... gold teeth are for the streets.
I feel it is ghetto/unprofessional ... now my mom has a cold crown in the back of her mouth, but that is really different then popping a gold cap over your tooth. In that case let's talk about all this ear/body PIERCING ... I see the males and females come to work with tongue rings and eye brow rings ...is that for the work place - I SAY NO TO ALL.
All this is very unprofessional. It may be chic, and hip but it is for the streets, or those creative positions some hold. If my lawyer was in the court with any of the above (NOT TALKING ABOUT BRAIDS) then I would think s/he was crazy. And that is simply because I hired him and he represents me ...I would not do/ bring those things to work.
ADDED-> I am not trying to OFFEND any in how you wear your braids, your ear rings or anything, or in where you work ... I am stating my personal opinion.
