  Because putting bits of plastic over them and pretending they’re good never took off here

  It’s the British who have janky teeth. We make fun of them for that too.

    I usually just make fun of their horrible cuisine. Who in their right mind would eat bland mashed peas?

  They probably have a shit dental system.

  Kinda like how places with poor social safety nets have a bunch of homeless people, or places with bad sex ed have a bunch of pregnant teenagers.

    It’s more that dentistry is more about health than cosmetics.

    Can confirm the UK is in the middle of a dental crisis.

    My own experience was waiting on a list at the practice the rest of my family goes to for 5 yrs before they admitted they are short on dentists and haven’t been able to fill spots.

    I then had to spend an afternoon phoning around 40 of the local dentists looking for someone that could put me on there books.

    On the up side I am getting the tidy up work I have needed since just before lockdown on the teeth I smashed as a drunk teen at last

  Because over the last 14 years, the Tories have annihilated NHS dentistry.

  Growing up, I’d see a dentist every 6 months or so for a checkup. About ten years ago they swapped most people to appointments every year. Then about 3 years ago they sent me a text telling me that my dentist had left, and they’d tell me when they had another. Given they haven’t contacted me since, I’m assuming that was a typo, and what they actually meant to type was “fuck you”.
