Where the F did the misconception come from that English peeps have bad teeth?
I THINK THE SIMPLE ANSWER WOULD BE BECAUSE YOUR BREATH STINKS.
Reply:Urban legend. Same as you brits thinking all Americans are obese.
Reply:It is not that you have bad teeth.....it is that when you watch a Britt speak they hold their upper lip taut over their upper teeth. Some may think you are trying to hide bad teeth.
Reply:I think that in other countries they aren't as concerned with the straight white teeth like Americans. Not saying that all Brits are like that, but if you take the majority in both countries I believe they are more junior high kids in USA with braces than your neck of the woods.





No offense here - my grandparents are from England.
Reply:Sorry, I never heard that stereotype. I have never met anyone from Brit either.
Reply:Never heard such a thing .
Reply:This is the first time I heard it! Where did you get your info on that subject?
Reply:umm i have NEVER heard anyone say british ppl have bad teeth i looove brits they are the best
Reply:It could be just a cultural trend...that at some point in time the British didn't value dental care and that trend stuck in the minds of Americans. I hope it's not true any more!
Reply:We base this on BBC programs and British movies aired in the US. Mr. Humphries from "Are You Being Served" is a prime example.
Reply:Two words: Austin Powers
Reply:I don't know... probably cuz ppl compare it with American's teeth and American's teeth are always either dentures, cuz they've rotted, or they spent WAY too much money on getting them fixed insted of on something important...
Reply:Here is a website, which is a study done in the UK about the oral health of its citizens. The website seems to indicate that the UK system of dentistry is focused on what to do AFTER your teeth are in trouble, where as in the USA the dentists seem to focus on prevention. this quote is from this website........................They may also provide additional justification for recent UK Government initiatives to change the way dentistry is practised in the UK, moving away from payment for disease treatment and towards a more preventive approach for adults. ................ hope this helps. :)
Reply:Americans are obsessed with dental hygiene.





How often do you go to the dentist?








Regardless, I have seen quite a few with bad teeth.
Reply:because you dickwads don't have fluoride in the water.
