Why do Americans have such poor dental hygiene?

as an Englishman i recently visited the USA and was amazed at the poor state of the teeth of many of its inhabitants.


I would roughly say 94% of Americans dont own a toothbrush


Why do you chaps pay no attention to your teeth, it is becoming a bit of a stereotype of American people.

Not sure who you met up with but my impression is they take more care over dental hygiene than those in the UK. They are really into flossing as well and that has not caught on so well here for a start.
Reply:Yeah and they say WE have bad teeth! Idiots! They look at their own TV and films and presume they are all like that!
Reply:LMAO.


It is because nobody has dental insurance anymore. If you've monitored the debacle on health insurance over here, it is much much much much worse for dental.
Reply:Amazingly most americans have the same concept pertaining to Brits. I guess it is just a matter of with whom you interact.
Reply:94% don't own toothbrushes? I am curious to see the answers from the poll you held to come up with that number.





Troll.

Reply:Haven't you asked this question before? 94 %.... and where did that figure come from?? Stretching the truth and being insulting for no apparent reason seems to be quite the stereotype of the English, eh????

Reply:Ha! Ha!.... I love satire! A Brit saying Americans have bad teeth! That's like saying that its a shame that there are no American women who have the beauty of the Queen... LOL!

You most won't like what I say but this is my truth...
Reply:its hard for american dentists to work on a nations mouth when they like the sound of their own voices so much and actually believe what they say is important,and thats when they havent got mouthfuls of mcdonalds
Reply:ROFLMAO








You being an Englishman, have no room to talk. I was wondering it the UK had dentists at all. You people have some of the nastiest teeth I've ever seen. You actually think the the huge part in the front two teeth looks good?





ROFLMAO!!!
Reply:I visit the Key's in Florida regularly and have never saw an American with bad teeth yet in fact quite the opposite their teeth are whiter than white.
Reply:You must have been in a lot of American bathrooms to check out the toothbrush scene...ignoring that ,we have the reality that the government does not fix our teeth,if one is lucky they will have welfare coupons of sorts when they can get an appointment and this will likely be to have their teeth yanked out,no cosmetic dentistry here for free mate...a set of false teeth here on sale is $1000...dental insurance from the job will likely only cover 15-20 percent of a bill the size of Lady Liberty,a root canal and or crown your looking at $800 per tooth average.I think a survey would be in order to see who has the most false teeth per household in the US or Britain?
Reply:You are completely mistaken. Americans are very fanatical about dental hygiene. Most can't afford to go to the dentist because they don't have health insurance.


Why do Brits ask such ill-informed, unfounded questions?


And if you want to go into curious dental configurations, just look around you.


I know you probably won't give me best answer but that's OK, I just wanted to give you a reality check. Your question is rude and obnoxious.
Reply:i dont know who you met here in America but if its one thing Americans spend money on its their bodies. i dont believe that you even came here to America
Reply:well they aren't going to put stuff in their mouths that they can't eat, so toothpaste and a toothbrush is a nono!





plus brushing takes away precious eating time!
Reply:Poor dental hygiene, and poor brain capacity too, many of USA people believe the G.W. Bush lies.
