Americans don't think that. That is just an excuse for British people to hate Americans. Brits can say "they think we have bad teeth!"
A am so glad that we can hate each other over something as trivial as oral hygiene.

Maybe it's how the Brits have portrayed themselves in movies and sitcoms available to the rest of the world, baby, yeah!!! And Austin Powers!

The same reason you Brits have so many negative stereotypes about us Americans.............it's how you're portrayed in the movies and TV.
Yes, it pretty much started with Austin Powers, blame Mike Myers (Canadian not American) for that one.

Historically the British were proud of their bad teeth as it showed they could afford sugar. More recently, British dental health has still been inferior to that of North America. In 1998 my mother came from Canada to visit me in Cambridge and commented on people's teeth without my even asking about it.

Hi, I am American and this is the first I have heard of this myth. When I think of Brits I think of tea, good music, and candid people.
