Why do so many Russians have bad teeth?.. teeth are not a priority for the Russians.. it's funny you pick on the Brits teeth.. the Russians have way worse teeth.. even some models have teeth that are gammy.

There's a difference between healthy teeth and "good looking" teeth. I don't doubt that most everyone would want healthy teeth. All you have to do is develop a toothache to know that.

Here's a related question: is teeth whitening a very big deal in the UK?

The NHS only offers free dental care for people on benefits. To go to a private dentist is expensive and actually very hard to get registered at one. However I think most of us British do have healthy teeth. I know I do.

It's a cliche, I think perpetuated in recent times by the Austin Powers movies.

I'm sure this problem is in many parts of the world. I'm from the country and they say "hillbillies" have bad teeth too, which in come cases is true. Especially the ones way out in the sticks, they are poor and can't afford health insurance, not to mention a car.
