+144 Turns out the British not only don't have the world's worst teeth, they have the world's best teeth... so we should probably stop that stereotype now, amirite?

I don't think they have bad teeth, but I'm pretty sure they don't have the best. It's so hard to find a dentist there, especially in Wales. Sometimes you'd have to travel 200 miles to see one. And they don't put as much flouride in their water as say, America does.

Nope, there was a study that said that they have the best teeth. It was Poland with the worst teeth.

Sure thing. How's your country's teeth?

About half way through the list. What Master J said is true too. Health wise they are obviously the best, but being straight white not so much. Like I said it's hard to find a dentist, and they don't put a lot of fluoride in their water. I'm American, and we do. Which maybe explain why so many of us seem dumber than the rest of the world. It's a neurotoxin and over the years can lower your IQ. But apparently our appearance obsessed society would rather that than a little tooth decay.

Fluoride is not a neurotoxin. Fluorine, however, is. Americans are only stupid because our government and teachers want us to think that our history is absolutely grand, and therefore, vote for the guy who says "Vote for me because I'm a good American."

http://www.holisticmed.com/fluoride/ As for how they want to teach us... IDK what state you live in but in Arizona we learn about all of America's faults and what's going on currently in politics, though the teachers aren't allowed to take sides in politics because they don't want to slant our views with their own.

They don't teach the fact that the Conquistadors killed many people, sometimes just for fun. Some historians claim that there were millions killed. Yes, this is on the same level as the Holocaust.

We learned about them in 8th grade in American History.

The conquistadors, or their crimes?

Both.

Gee, I wish people in Oklahoma taught this stuff. I'm having to learn it on my own.

Isn't Oklahoma a very Mormon state? I know Utah is, and for some reason I feel like Oklahoma is too.

Not really. Mostly Baptist, especially Southern Baptist.

that's only for children and it doesnt even say which has the best teeth. its just which (developed) countries have the worst teeth. PLUS there's only 18 countries on there, and there are 196 countries in the world. that chart in no way tells you which countries have the worst and best teeth.

http://ctrlv.in/32685 I do agree that they should have gone into older years, but most people don't have that many decaying teeth after age 12. On third-world countries, I would imagine that they have bigger issues than keeping their teeth clean.

Too much fluoride is just as bad for teeth. Tge amount added are akways dependent on the amounts already present in the water.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well there's not too much flouride in the water so I'm cool.

Having the fattest person in the world doesn't mean they're a fat country. But they are in the top 10, and America's not.
