Don't the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
I've not researched this, but I've heard it's because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.
That basically means: no whitening.
Teeth are naturally yellowish
also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.
So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.
It's like most things in America - if you're doing ok then it's great, and if you're not then the rest of the country just pretends you don't exist.
"Say, how is it that we got socialized medicine but me teeth still look like this?"
Socialised healthcare means they work and you aren't left in pain. If you want them to look pretty go and fork out for private treatment.
I'll raise you
That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don't know), otherwise this country sucks.
It's also because Americans will spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures for their preteens. Braces are not as common elsewhere. Europeans think a lot of Americans look like they have dentures because of this and veneers.
I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.
Not a myth and don’t speak as an authority on something you’ve never researched.
Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.
It's pretty obvious that I meant healthier teeth. Which they have because they're not avoiding the dentist as much. Because it's paid for by insurance.
