Well, I moved to America last year. I haven't been to a dentist yet but my children have, it was the first time they ever had x-rays taken, in England as far as I am aware dentists just don't take them routinely like they do here. This has got to be a good thing in preventing cavities from becomming huge and visible to the human eye. Also, my children, as well as myself never had a flouride treatment til they came here, and I was discouraged from taking suppliments back in England by all of the dentists I asked.
Flossing is also a part of the cleaning treatment here, I think you have to be referred to a hygenist back home in the U.K before anyone will come near you with floss at an appointment.
In my opinion the dental care here, in the U.S is much more geared towards preventative care rather than just treating the problems when they occur.
I have great dental insurance here but because my kids have had to have a number of treatments which, if taken care of in the early stages back home in the U.K, would never have become a major problem, I am paying alot to have their teeth taken care of.
I think that there is more treatment options here due to the insurance that we have to pay, and as a result, dental care, not so much hygiene, is lacking in the U.K...which I am sure leads to people not having such nice teeth in the long run.

do no longer brush, have not got them wiped sparkling. I do many times provide them bones and frozen meaty bones, besides as kongs, nylabones, bully sticks and different chewie issues to maintain their tooth sparkling. they're the two youthful, a million and 3 (lab and combine), yet neither have any tooth problems. They the two handed their annual checkups with flying hues, so i don't sense the ought to do something extra. while they become previous, if the vet recommends, i'm going to think of roughly adjusting their attitude. I additionally do no longer feed sugary treats- they get kibble as treats, warm canines, conventional milkbones, or bil-jac liver base in the event that they're at school (it relatively is what they have).

You can't "take good care of your oral hygiene." You can have good or poor oral hygiene, but you can't take good care of it.

No it isn't true. Its just a negative stereotype. If you are really interested about how other people live and want to know the truth about other cultures then travel. Travel is fatal to prejudice.

OP - Is it true that all Americans are fat, thick and have never left their continent?
Still think yours was a reasonable question?

No. Just like anywhere else, there are some with bad teeth and some with good.

If it is so, the dentists and other people in the business would not want to set up their practices there.
