Uh, have you ever seen the condition of the average Brit's teeth?


Speaking as an average Brit:
* I am 31.
* I have no fillings
* I have no tooth problems (including wisdom tooth problems).

Mostly, this was caused by having good dental health as a child, and I'm
sure flouridized water helped.

While I've seen some people with terrible teeth here, I've seen just as
many people with terrible teeth in the US. There was even an article in
AOPA Magazine about a bunch of doctors who fly in the Appalacians (with
amongst other things, a DC-3) who have to pull out an awful lot of
rotten teeth.
