Why do brits have poor dental hygiene?!


Question: That's the funniest question I have seen on here to date!!!

LOL soooooooo true!

Of course, not ALL brits have poor dental hygiene... just compared to most western countries they do

(We're not included underdeveloped countries in this, are we? That wouldn't be fair...)

Maybe there is less fluoride in the water there?

Maybe the sun has something to do with it? (or lack of?)

But then if the brits have poor dental hygiene, then why are americans so arrogant? Why australians so lazy? Why do new zealanders like sheep? hehe we could go on like this all day...

(c'mon, I really love all these countries - and isn't it our differences that make us all so special?... quick picking on people!! hehe)

  • That's just mean!

    and why is your avatar hiding it's mouth with the snorkel? Bad teeth?

    no we don't,

    They just have poor sunshine...

    Thats a STEREOTYPE!!!
    Im British and I have great teeth!!! =D

    **Why do Americans have dentures!!!???**

    EDIT: British people in like the Victorian times had bad teeth because they ate soo much sugar! They would put sugary stuff on their teeth as they thought it made it cleaner!

    have you tried to get a dentist in the uk its impossible

    anyone and everyone can and has poor dental hygine not just the Brits

    Just a racist stereotype.

    why are americans fat

    why does this question keep getting posted???

    Im a Brit and my teeth are great, thanks you!

    i am british and i have perfect teeth so i dont know where you got that idea from

    yes

    Someone has made the mistake of "generalising"

    Your poop stinks.

    I don't think that's true. The stereotype is that they eat a lot of candy. But really, it's a gross generalization.

    Do they??
    I didnt know, I DONT !!! lol

    We don't !
    At least everybody here can afford to go to the dentist thanks to the NHS.. thats at least one thing they got right hahah.

    Generally we don't have better or worse than other nations. It's just the way that certain popular actors that get into the USA main stream have certain dental states.

    Some people in USA have bad teeth, but they're never in the lime light.

    That's a stereotype. Many of them have good dental hygiene, but there's a broad spectrum of people there, just like in most places. Some do. Some don't.

    TWO WORDS.....Universal healthcare.

    Gross generalisation. I have almost perfectly straight teeth, no fillings and they look really nice. Are you trying to annoy people? Not nice.

    We don't.

    You've been watching too much Austin Powers. But I don't know, why do Americans have poor physical health with the lack of excersise and obesity these days? It all goes along with our cultural advancement and stuff like that.

    Cos no bloody NHS dentists will take new patients and not everyone can afford to go private!!
    I've tried for months to register my son but no dentist will see him!!

    this is an overgeneralizing stereotype, and is not fair, as some people in EACH country or culture have poor hygiene. it has more to do with an individual person and his attitude toward cleanliness and the resources available to him.

    We dont or more to the point we dont spend a fortune having them bleached. Its an Urban myth like why are Americans so fat. Oh wait thats not a myth.

    I pink this is a puckin insult.. mose (like me) don't hab any teeph at all!

    The do not have fluoride in their tap water. We do in the USA.
    Fluoride help keep your teeth white and clean, but can cause brain cancer if too much is ingested. That is why most other country do not put it in the water. Tooth past has it as well.

    What is your nationality? Will you not answer as the stereotyping of your nation is a lot worse than teeth?
    Just looked at your other questions. You are an arrogant obese, self centered gun toting murdering naive, gullible American.
    Not my opinion by the way but stereotyping is a sh!tty thing don't you agree?

    Excuse me ???? I am British and there is absolutely nothing wrong with my dental hygiene or my teeth.....unlike your manners which are obviously in a neglected and ugly state.

    Crappy water perhaps?
