A popular myth.

Several American dentists have told me that US teeth are far worse. Cosmetically, they look whiter and more healthy but in reality they are an accident waiting to happen - because of the poor American diet and the Americans' love for candy and donuts.

Once again, diet isn't something upon which Brits should be lecturing anybody — including New Guinea tribesmen.

Exhibit #1 is the fact that deep-fried Mars bars are considered a delicacy in the UK.

Dentists on your side of the poind are so scarce that some people in the British hinterlands don't have access to one.
