This is all something I never saw in Britain I guess it's not that initially we have worse teeth than the American's but we don't perservere as much to improve upon their look

And I'm actually amazed to see somebody complaining about the price of dental work in the U.K ....have you seen a dentist over here yet? :scared:
For the record I am a brit living in the states and yes I have seen a dentist here, if I had not then I would not be in a position to comment, my dental comes with my job, and compared to english dental care it costs me next to nothing over here.

that is very true.. different races have different natural teeth colours. people of negroid descent have bright white teeth, whereas the natural colour for caucasians (sp?) is more of an off white - or pearly white...

i knew someone who had their teeth bleached.. almost blinded me when he smiled... it was way too artificial looking

as for the illiteracy and apostrophes and grammar! chill out - its only typing! (go on, chastise me for not capitalising (or with a 'z' if you prefer))....
