    The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the US … than in England

    Consistently higher RII and SII [inequality index] values were found in the US than in England

    The oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the US compared with England.

    I mean ukkk but this was always silly.

    Waiting for USAians to come up with a criticism of foreign countries that isn’t even worse in their own.

      americans make fun of brits for having fairly normal looking teeth, meanwhile americans have weird shiny white teeth that they feel the need to show off to the world doing this face: the-democrat

        This is where it comes from. British people, celebs especially, didn’t spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on expensive cosmetic dental surgery, they just had their natural teeth, so they’re a bit crooked and a little yellow.
