Pardon me and my stereotypes here, but are Englishmen the BEST people to be talking about dental care and hygene?

Why do Americans have SUCH a thing about teeth??
It never fails to amaze me the perfect sets of gleaming white teeth on view when I visit the US ..... and braces on young people ... WHY, WHY??
There seems to be an obsession with teeth over and beyond normal care and attention.

I reckon I can usually pick out Americans from a group, without hearing the accents, simply by looking at their teeth!

Yes, I will admit us Brits don't care too much as long as they don't ache, we can chew on steak, and they look reasonably OK (although probably not OK in American eyes!)
