All you Americans...smile! :thumbup:

 

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!)

My teeth still look better than yours, that's all that matters.

So I do...get all the way to the end only to find out teeth are extra...the quote only covered the surgery...

LOL...the job comes without teeth...what the hell?? its like getting a quote on a car only to find out after you buy it the engine is extra...

I'm not sure that it was ever a matter of the US having better dental health, but rather Americans being obsessed with orthodonics and braces for kids starting at a very young age. 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.
