why do americans have nice teeth
It's common to see americans with straight, white teeth, while in many other countries, the average person's teeth are noticeably worse. In the US even an average person often has "celebrity-like" teeth, which is rare elsewhere.

does america have superior food... what's the secret?

People do not smoke and abuse their teeth as much as they once did and the dental work as well as preventive care here is excellent.

I would have to disagree on that... I mean, is not like they are british lol but a large number of them don't have the best dental hygiene.

Maybe is cheaper to white your teeth there, but I wouldn't say it's because their hygiene habits.

Fluoride does help and people in the US tend to go to the dentist once or twice a year.

I just have a good dentist. Sadly for me I keep power washing my teeth with soda.

I for one always thought it was odd that Americans bleach their teeth or put caps on, or similar, instead of simply just caring for them as they aged.

And the whole plastic surgery thing to disguise your true self and try fool unsuspecting victims...

But at the same time thought it was odd that Europeans have wonky features too.

To each their own, and that's what makes Earth great.

After the war of independence they were no longer British. They dont have bad teeth anymore because of that and that alone. Trust me bro

They have free dental care for school children, I guess? With dental braces and such. Like in Norway and other countries. So the teeth are straight for the rest of your life.
