Brits have better teeth than Americans as world dental health stats show year on year. The idea is silly and not backed up by data.

The idea comes from the fact that the NHS only pays for your tooth health, not how they look.

So you got Brits with very healthy but also very crooked teeth.

Also Americans whiten their teeth.

The Brits only started adding Fluoride to their water in 1964. Hence Austin Powers’s teeth as well as the stereotypes.

As we in the states are about to learn about.

Wonkaville is apparently American in the 70s movie, since everyone there has an American accent.
