@thespecialrelationship: Americans think British teeth suck

Vicky Vixen :

I think Terry Thomas has a lot to do with the American stereotyping of the British . It’s not just the teeth , it’s the posh gentleman thing . Austin powers was an updated version of the Terry Thomas character.

What is the cost in the USA for dentistry

jejaadams720 :

Most Insurance in America doesn’t pay for cosmetic teeth operations either, my parents had to pay out of pocket for my braces.

flor :

British teeth are the equivalent of how we look at America and Trump

britannia :

My teeth ain’t like that

andrewhowells617 :

but it's not like that any more, people are using invisalign or cosmetic dentistry

Jane 🪡🧵📚☕️ :

This stereotype is outdated. OECD index puts UK in 4 place. USA in 9. It’s about time this stereotype was put to rest.

geekgirl5 :

It’s because we care about teeth being healthy but don’t care about teeth being straight and white etc.

Bakero :

Braces are free for kids on the NHS

highseacruiser :

I couldn’t give a toss about what Americans think of my teeth tbh

oranapplech :

NHS focus on healthy teeth not perfectly pretty teeth.

mgh1955 :

American teeth are exactly the same as British teeth, it is just that American focus is on teeth straightening and whitening

Alice Bee 🐝 :

but also there are hardly any NHS places for dentistry as well so people can't afford it

emine_m :

Children can get their teeth straightened for free. My daughter has perfect looking healthy teeth (she’s now into her 30s) all thanks to the NHS.

anom2pissuoff :

Teeth are NOT meant to be brilliant white they are meant to be pale yellow or milky white, which is caused by the thick, strong dentin layer underneath the enamel showing through. NOT pure brilliant white

Stephanie🌻 :

This is a really unfair stereotype, many of us have never had anything done to our teeth, not even a filling, and don’t need it. It’s like anywhere in the world, some are good and some bad

Cameron :

The U.K. is above the US in the global healthcare index for dental health 👍

wraithsoulreaver :

We don’t force our kids to have full head gear braces

Knight of Ni. :

Teeth are for eating and not for judging how much someone is worth.

GenXMick :

Mine are great. I put them in a jar at night 👍👍

Ceri :

The nhs doesn’t fund cosmetic procedures.

Gemma harrison :

I'm British live in Portsmouth and my teeth are crap . lost loads of them during having blood thinners after having plates and screws fitted in to my left ankle as I severely broke it last year.. i really don't give a fuck on what people say about my teeth . i don't need to impressed no cunt .

GenFroHo :
