British Dental Hygeine

Does anyone know why the British in general don't care for their dental health? It's really not that difficult to use a toothbrush, floss and mouthwash in around 5 minutes.

umm i am british and we do care for our teeth, we get dental care on the NHS so its free if you pay taxes

and everyone i know in england save one person brushes their teeth 2 times a day

i can only hope your guessing all of this on the stereotype of the british from the 1800s where everyone is randomly posh and have bad teeth, sorry to break it to you it was only true for the very posh then and its not true for anyone now

Britain was slower in taking up the practice of gluing shiny bits of white plastic to the front of celebrities teeth. Pro-tip: Don't base stereotypes on Hollywood.

Every British person I talk to says there aren't really any dentists, NHS or private that are readily available in Britain. They also say NHS doesn't cover dentistry or orthodontics.

there arent that many dentists but there are enough to see one on the NHS and it does cover both dentistry and orthodontics, both me and my brother have had braces on the NHS for free and much more

The NHS did my orthodontics last year. I suggest you stop believing these people as they are talking balls.

Actually most people have to pay. You can thank the tories for that.

As far as I know, the British have the best teeth in the world... that might just be something I read on cracked.com though.

Even the admin agrees with me so this topic is closed, I won.

I hate stereotypes.

I always wondered this question but it's irrational to think everyone British has bad teeth. I guess I'll find out next year when I go to England:D! So excited.

Not to detract from the topic (it was never a decent one anyway) but where are you going in England?

Muppy · Jun 4th 2010, 11:58pm

Ha you are such an ass for making this thread, you seriously believe that stereotype?
I had braces when i was younger and my teeth are perfectly straight and white. I have one filling and the rest of my teeth are perfect. British people do look after their teeth.

I'm assuming you're American? If everyone followed stereotypes that would make you obese, dumb and lazy... yea I think the British win here.

London, Somerset, and Stratford. Then we go to Paris for 2 days.
