Britain: Land of Bad Teeth?

What the heck does that mean?

Back when our health care was good, we had much better dental care than the Brits, so they typically had worse teeth than us. Times have changed.

So the description is about care of teeth rather than some genetic abnormality (crooked teeth)?

Right. And generally, few folks have perfect teeth. It's largely about quality of care.

Actually, it's a long-standing joke stemming from the high intake of tea (and sugar) in Britain. People have been making fun of British teeth for centuries.

"When our healthcare was good"? Get real, Americans teeth are not made fun of by the rest of the industrialized world, British people's teeth are.

Doesn't the Government over there run the dental industry? :eek:

The Japanese drink alot of tea too. And they are not known for having horrible teeth.

The joke is stale. They have much better dental care these days. And get your causation straight. Our infrastructure wasn't decimated by WWII like the UK and other European nations. You ASSUME that socialized medicine is the cause for their bad teeth, which is erroneous.

Ah, but Beligium, France, Italy, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Chzechoslovakia, Hungary, etc were left alot worse off than the UK by WWII, and those countries are not known for their bad teeth.

All had socialized medicine, and the joke was so much better directed towards the Brits due to our relationship with them. It was a stupid joke, not a scientific evaluation.

It's all good.

Sailors used to say Japanese women had slanted vaginas. And I can personally attest to that falsehood.

Do you suffer from Yellow Fever?

No, I actually suffer from Brown-Suga-itis. But I've sampled quite a few worldly dishes.

Besides, green tea doesn't have the "Staining" properties of the dark teas ( Earl gray orange pekoa) and coffee.

The joke is done. The same thing used to be said about British cooking, that they boiled everything, it was gray and tasteless, no longer accurate. Now if you want to talk about the women in Britian, nothing compares to Ours or the Canadians.

What's wrong with the Brits?

From what I have read, tea is supposed to be good for your teeth. That is tea without milk or sugar. Some people (including in the Far East) even rinse their mouths with tea before going to bed.

When the dollar was a strong world currency, I assume?:D

Staining means just that. It does not necessarily mean that teas that "stain" your teeth are doing them any harm.

Don't forget the South America beauties in Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela (etc.). ;)

any one heard of CTS (Chinese Teeth Syndrome)? ;)

China is by far the place with the worst teeth.

I see extremely hot chicks, their face, bodies, everyting is so nice, until they smile... instant turn off.

I work with very high class and rich people, and even they have bad teeth, so its not just country folk

Mao did this and had horrible teeth. He also never bathed and said he washed his d1ck in women's pu$$ies.

[Hardwork108]

I have met people in who do this yet they have good teeth. Perhaps one cannot solely rely on tea rinses to keep his or her mouth healthy. I guess things like diet and habits such as long term smoking come into it. and of course, as always, regular visit to ones dentist is the only way to guarantee good oral health and hygene.


He also never bathed

Well that was Mao, a man with proven psychopathic tendencies. The Chinese people I have met have been extremely clean, and some occasions more so than many of the none-Oriental people I have crossed paths with.


and said he washed his d1ck in women's pu$$ies.uc
That is new to me. Are you sure that this was not some CIA propaganda, like Saddams Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Anyway, I wash mine, before and after, not during, as nowadays that can be darn dangerous!:D

Quite correct.
People's enamel and the colour there of, doesn't always co-realte to bad ( unhealthy) teeth.
It doesn't even co-realte to how much or little, they brush.
Coffee and tea have staining properties, they do NOT have cavity inducing properties.
