Why do americans think all british people have bad teeth ?
Not all Americans think that. It%26#039;s just a stupid stereotype.

Reply:To tell you the truth, I have never heard of that stereotype in my life, I don%26#039;t think you guys do, if that helps!!!!
Reply:Because they see pictures and movies where the creators have the British with bad teeth. More like for show.
Reply:No we don%26#039;t.
Reply:It%26#039;s a stereotype in the movies. Especially, the Austin Powers movies... for the record, I never thought the British had bad teeth.
Reply:this Q came up a cpl of weeks ago!





there is a grain of truth in it, and if i had a tooth pick i would be able to get the grain out!
Reply:Austin Powers didn%26#039;t help.

Reply:b/c back in the 70s when america had modern dentistry, the UK had jack sh*t.





Now that UK has caught up, your teeth are fine. But check out anyone over about from England. Their teeth are probably whack.
Reply:Because, I may be mistaken, but they don%26#039;t cover dental along with health care? And movies seem to depict this same type-cast.
Reply:... i didnt even know that was a stereotype
Reply::P, I%26#039;m partially to blame.


I was born in eng-gar-land, in Manchester, and I boast about it to everyone.


But the whole bottom row of my teeth is all ****** up. Not so much as to nessessitate braces, but enough so it%26#039;s noticeable.


so I%26#039;m encouraging that streotype.
Reply:Late night comedians sometimes joke about that, but I don%26#039;t think anyone really believes it. It%26#039;s just an old stereotype; I%26#039;m sorry it bothers you, but it%26#039;s impossible to control what people say, so try not to take it personally.
Reply:We dont.








Ignore them, mate. How soon they forget that the coolest spy on Earth is English. (Even if the actor is from Scotland.)

Reply:too many austin power movies......
Reply:It%26#039;s an outdated stereotype that Americans hang on to as a way of poking fun at the Brits. Don%26#039;t let it bother you love...there are plenty of Americans who suffer from hideous-teethi-sitis! :)
Reply:they think that?!
Reply:Never heard that one before....new to me. They are just like anyone else.
Reply:It is a running joke or something. doesnt take much to get under your skin huh?
Reply:Mine ARE bad, thanks to American coca-cola and Mcdonalds.
