"The oral health of U.S. citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the U.S. compared with England," the researchers wrote in their conclusion.

For the study, which was published in the British Medical Journal's lighthearted Christmas issue, researchers from University College London, the National University of Colombia, and the Harvard School of Public Health looked at dental data for thousands of men and women age 25 and over in both countries. They found the mean number of missing teeth was "significantly higher" in the United States than in England -- 7.31 teeth compared to 6.97.

I hope that puts an end to the endless bashing of us Brits teeth.

Yeah but how many orthodontists do you have? Growing up, half of the kids in my school had braces.

Yeah but we have straight teeth here because we've heard of orthodontists.

Meanwhile in the UK getting braces is considered an elective surgery or whatever and so only the rich people get them.

Also usually orthodontists will pull some teeth to make things straight. Mystery solved

No, that's not the stereotype. The stereotype is that British teeth look like someone just placed them at random with no regard given to spacing, orientation, or alignment. Given the state of US medicine and the number of people who cannot afford dental care, it was always assumed that US teeth were less healthy, but started out actually being somewhat well-placed.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

We have the NHS so if you dont work or under 16 you dont pay for dental care. If you do work you only pay £18.80 for examination and X-rays £51.30 for further treatment.

Hahaha. It's so unseemly.

Europeans tend to have this huge chip on their shoulder about America, on account of America being undeniably superior, no doubt.
