Item 1...There are a lot of English people in Spain...holidays...retirement etc....the Spanish have a phrase for the English....roughly translated as:

the sun burnt blue eyed people with bad teeth

Item 2...a while back I watched a BBC documentary on the American Revolution....at the end of each segment a UK Professor gave a short analysis of what we just saw....and each one of the Profs had bad teeth.

Item 3...the best selling product in the UK version of 7/11 stores is a Do-It-Yourself Dental Kit

.... includes....pick, mirror, pincers, anti biotic, glue and instructions .

And don't forget that dentistry in UK is part of the infamous National Health Service....(that invented the Liverpool Pathway....a quick trip from ward to morgue)

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.

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.
