Why do SOME Americans think that ALL English people have bad teeth?

It%26#039;s not normal for evertyone to have perfect white teeth, that would just be boring. Having said that, my teeth are in excellent condition!

Why do SOME Americans think that ALL English people have bad teeth?
it%26#039;s just another stereotype that people buy into.

Reply:All the English people I%26#039;ve known, DO have bad teeth. I do however know that ALL of them don%26#039;t, just the ones I know.
Reply:its just stereotyping like the english do about us....:)
Reply:Well, as an American, this is news to me! All the Brits I know have awesome teeth (better than mine!)!
Reply:It%26#039;s just that many british actors seen on American tv have not had their teeth straightened. And so a stereotype is born.
Reply:because some of them do but every country has something against another!
Reply:I think it started with the Beatles, they had some really bad teeth (England didn%26#039;t floridate their water back then). So people thought if rock stars over there have bad teeth everyone must!
Reply:Because American dentists practice prevetion. English dentists need to find fault in order to make money out of the patient. There is no money to be made out of check ups. All visitors to the UK see in an english mans mouth is black fillings and dentists driving around in BMW%26#039;s
Reply:England is a small island , there has been hundreds and hundreds of years of INBREEDING. The teeth going bad is the first sign , just like with dogs.
Reply:Austin Powers fault!!!
Reply:Do they have %26quot;New Tricks%26quot; on telly over there, perhaps they%26#039;ve seen Dennis Waterman lately and base everyone elses teeth on his.





And you nonsense-talker, is that your name? it should be, where%26#039;d you get that inbreeding nonsense?
Reply:It is just a stereotype. I don%26#039;t know where it comes from though. I know some English people with good teeth and some with bad. I don%26#039;t know where they get this stereotype from. And the dude who said about inbreeding, how can you be inbred when the country is full of immigrants? I mean, most English people could trace there ancestry back to totally different places.
Reply:It%26#039;s not the teeth that are the problem but the face.
Reply:i%26#039;ve never heard this and i am american....i assume there are dentists there too...that%26#039;s just another stupid stereotype someone came up with. that%26#039;s like saying all german women are hairy....r they????...lol
Reply:Those %26quot;SOME%26quot; must have not seen my teeth.
