Every Sunday night at 10pm for the next 14 years, BBC America presents a 728 part series of all-new documentaries that take an in-depth, honest, and often surprising look at the state of dental hygene in the UK. Britain’s Worst Teeth follows four twenty-somethings with some of the worst teeth in Britain, and that's saying something. Their teeth are so bad they affect every aspect of their miserable little lives. They are in pain and are embarrassed to go out to the pub more than 7 or 8 times a week. They find eating fish and chips and speaking about how they hate America difficult, and not surprisingly, they find it difficult to attract partners anywhere other than Lambeth or Margate. There is an epidemic of poor teeth in Britain. 17 in 18 people never visit the dentist. 7 in 10 is terrified of the dentist chair. Sugar consumption, eating disorders, and bad diet make Britain’s global reputation for being a nation of terrible teeth completely justified. All might not be lost. Britain's three dentists have agreed to take on these four cases and see if they can do anything to save their terrible teeth.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteI resent the accusation that we British have bad teeth. At least we are not fat like Americans.

It's true that a lot of Americans ARE overweight and obese, but so are a lot of those who live in the UK, according to another BBCA show,"You Are What You Eat."
