The British Medical Journal reports: "The oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the US compared with England." (That being said, try to find an NHS dentist over here, these days! I had to go private!)http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/17/britain-actually-has-better-teeth-than-the-us-5570752 Awards

Hell I remember some of my friends having braces back in the mid-60's. I was one of the lucky ones born with straight teeth. I've never had a single one pulled, not even my wisdom teeth. My now 25 year old son had braces for 5 years in his teens, and he refused to wear his retainer after they came off. Now they're damn near as crooked as they were before he got braces. Fuck him, he's got to live with them now. I did my part. JohnnyDos 1 Awards
