That kit sounds Medieval!
Yep—little hole-in-the-wall candy shops all over. (Or at least there used to be.)
Same as me—eDM.
Check out Weston A. Price for more information: http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/
Glad to see the article makes the crucial distinction between dental health and cosmetic dentistry - a distinction which one feels is often missing in the U.S. Also the comparative UK/US statistics on child dental health are revealing.
Actually it doesn't. Look at the comparative UK/US dental health figures towards the end of the article. What it does make clear, however, is that on the whole the British are less concerned than Americans about cosmetic dentisry, as distinct from dental health.
There is a flourishing private dentistry industry in the UK as well as the NHS. Much higher proportion of dentistry is privatised than general medicine.
Great tune. Yeah, the lead singer has bad teeth.
That’s what I was thinking. Now I’m feeling guilty about the eggs and biscuits I’m making for breakfast.
They’re Irish.
Yes, the British have a very sweet tooth. Not just sweets, but biscuits, cakes etc.
The teeth on the right weren’t real, fakes worn over his real ones for the part, the actor in real life had excellent teeth and was famously immaculately dressed and in contrast with that character.
Actually the WW2 diet was quite healthy.
1—Older British people will have older and less good teeth than younger British. Which is what the article is saying, the myth may have been true once, but not now.
2—And I have watched many US programmes with people with bad teeth, whats your point.
3—No, it isn’t. Who told you that nonsense?.
4—Infamous, of course you have never used it, or probably been to the UK, so you have no actual experience of it and accept what you are told.
5—The Pathway has been used by 60000 patients, and whilst recently it HAS been abused, the Pathway has actually worked and been a success.
1—Braces are widely used and widely available (I wore one myself when younger). Complete nonsense.
2-Many teeth?. Exaggeration methinks.
3—When did you work here?. And even if your British area and era had bad teeth, that dosent equate all British teeth were bad. Anymore than bad toothed crims on COPS means all Americans have bad teeth.
The article is clear that UK teeth WERE behind the US, but that the bad teeth myth is now just that, and has been for a few decades.
On BBC comedy videos we buy here in the US there's usually a short promo for "BBC America" which is a cable channel here which shows various BBC shows (like Top Gear).It's a cartoon featuring the Queen talking about Britain.At one point you see a character in a dentist's chair with the most horrible teeth imaginable and as you see him the Queen's saying in the background "they say one's dentistry is diabolical...looks fine to me".
I looked for it on youtube but can't find it...it's really funny.
But the non-myth myth has to do with yellow and crooked and otherwise unsightly teeth—not the number of cavities filled.
Actually, I think it has to do with how y’all don’t speak proper English like us colonists do. The weird accent does seem to bent the teeth in unnatural way, ya know? A secondary reason is why y’all drive on the wrong side of the road, caused by painful teeth on the left side of the mouth.
There, ya see, nothing to it!!! I shoulda been a doctor.
