Proof that Brits DO have fugly teeth!
April 01, 2008
I wasted a good 5 minutes of my baybee's nap time hunting up this nice little bit of info for y'all. Enjoy!

ROCHDALE, England, May 2 — "I snapped it out myself," said William Kelly, 43, describing his most recent dental procedure, the autoextraction of one of his upper teeth.

William Kelly, 43, extracted part of his own tooth, leaving a black stump. He plans to pull one more.

Now it is a jagged black stump, and the pain gnawing at Mr. Kelly's mouth has transferred itself to a different tooth, mottled and rickety, on the other side of his mouth. "I'm in the middle of pulling that one out, too," he said.

It is easy to be mean about British teeth. Mike Myers's mouth is a joke in itself in the "Austin Powers" movies. In a "Simpsons" episode, dentalphobic children are shown "The Big Book of British Smiles," cautionary photographs of hideously snaggletoothed Britons. In Mexico, protruding, discolored and generally unfortunate teeth are known as "dientes de ingles."

But the problem is serious. Mr. Kelly's predicament is not just a result of cigarettes and possibly indifferent oral hygiene; he is careful to brush once a day, he said. Instead, it is due in large part to the deficiencies in Britain's state-financed dental service, which, stretched beyond its limit, no longer serves everyone and no longer even pretends to try.

Mr. Kelly, interviewed in a health clinic here as he waited for his son to see a doctor, last visited a dentist six years ago, in Sussex.

Since moving to Rochdale, a working-class suburb of Manchester, he has been unable to find a National Health Service dentist willing to take him on.

Every time he has tried to sign up, lining up with hundreds of others from the ranks of the desperate and the hurting — "I've seen people with bleeding gums where they've ripped their teeth out," he said grimly — he has arrived too late and missed the cutoff.

"You could argue that Britain has not seen lines like this since World War II," said Mark Pritchard, a member of Parliament who represents part of Shropshire, where the situation is just as grim. "Churchill once said that the British are great queuers, but I don't think he meant that in connection to dental care."

Britain has too few public dentists for too many people. At the beginning of the year, just 49 percent of the adults and 63 percent of the children in England and Wales were registered with public dentists.

And now, discouraged by what they say is the assembly-line nature of the job and by a new contract that pays them to perform a set number of "units of dental activity" per year, even more dentists are abandoning the health service and going into private practice — some 2,000 in April alone, the British Dental Association says.

How does this affect the teeth of the nation?

"People are not registered with dentists, they can't afford to go private and therefore their teeth are going rotten," said Paul Rowen, the member of Parliament for Rochdale. Rotting teeth and no one to treat them are among his constituents' biggest complaints, up there with gas prices and shrinking pensions. Just 33 percent of the Rochdale population is signed up with a state dentist, down from 58 percent in 1997.

Nor is the level of care what it might be. The system, critics say, encourages state dentists to see too many patients in too short a time and to cut corners by, for instance, extracting teeth rather than performing root canals.

Claire Dacey, a nurse for a private dentist, said that when she worked in the National Health Service one dentist in the practice performed cleanings in five minutes flat.

Moreover, she said, by the time patients got in to see a dentist, many were in terrible shape.

"I had a lady who was in so much pain and had to wait so long that she got herself drunk and had her friend take out her tooth with a pair of pliers," Ms. Dacey said.

Some people simply seek treatment abroad.

"I saw it on the Internet," said Josie Johnson, 42, of London, describing how she heard about a company called Vital Europe, which offers dental-and-vacation packages to Hungary. "It's a quite small country, and I thought, they specialize in dentistry — so that's what I might do."

The dentists she consulted in London told her the four implants she needs would cost 8,000 to 10,000 pounds ($14,900 to $18,600); similar treatment in Budapest costs 3,200 to 4,400 pounds ($5,900 to $8,200), according to VitalEurope.

Beyond that, she said, "I can make a holiday of it."
More proof that parenting does NOT make one a better person.
I feel bad for your kid(s), TrollMoo. They have such a shitty person for a mom.
Yawn. More moo-trash. Never mind their fugly teeth, this just proves you have a fugly soul. I pity your children having you as an example.

so a persons teeth is the most important thing about them? and you spent time searching for proof that you are right. But if you read it. its NOT his choice. Its the national health service. Is it worth getting into debt for perfect teeth. You found 1 story about the national health service, who provides far more maternity care, far more ivf care, that the dental profession is going private. because they are not being paid enough because more money is going to mooternity things.

IS it a case of FORM over SUBSTANCE. Your only a good person if you have good teeth. What a thing to teach your children. you have to look perfect, have perfect teeth, forget the soul the mind underneath. IF you look good you must be good. (and who says what looks good, you.)

see no link, troll moo, why are you so obsessed about teeth. i dont understand.

if you had said this about another skin colour is that right. NO you would be called racist.

Dont you like the British race?

(thanks nour and guest, i hear this so many times Its a racial stereotype)

Fucking hell, Trollmoo, you are one sad bitch aren't you? You are living proof that shitting out brats fucks up the brain.

GTFO, you cow-whore.

You're begging for a ban from where you NEVER belonged.

Hey cunt face TrollMoo, why don't you take that stretched out twat, your saggy udders, stretchmarked gut, cellulite and placenta brain and go find something more useful to do?

In other words, FUCK OFF TROLL.

Oh and by the way, my father's family is from England and not one person had/has bad teeth. There are people on every continent on this earth with bad teeth, so what's your point?
Wow. Just wow. She actually took time out of her day to do THIS? Again, wow.

Honestly, as talented as we all are at spewing venom, there is nothing we could say here about TrollMoo that she hasn't already said about herself by posting this article.
LOL!, y'all don't get so wrapped around the axle about it, it's just an article. We all take time here and there to surf the web for stupid shit like this wink, it's not a biggie. No country is perfect and they all can use some change. Britain is a wonderful country whose people have an excellent sense of humor, but like everywhere else in the world, it's not without it's faults. Don't sweat the moother, she's just trying to ruffle your feathers.
This person appears to have a considerable problem regarding other people. For a start off she should get her facts right and not listen or read rubbish papers.

The Brits do have dentists and if you are in pain at the weekends or at holiday periods there are dental surgeries at the large teaching hospitals that people can attend.

What is her pre-occupation about teeth about. I must say she comes across as a most unpleasant person, is it her aim in life to behave so appallingly. Is she incapable of separating truth from fiction. Fiction sells magazines and newspapers and what you read on the internet is not necessarily the truth either.

By the way Rochdale is town in its own right and not simply part of Manchester it is some many miles from Manchester.

I think if I were she I'd be considering making an appointment to see someone about my behaviour it is obvious to a lot of people that it is totally unacceptable.
I see, I'm sort of new here and not familiar with the regular trolls. So true about facts. Believe none of what you read and half of what you see.

Just ignore her, she'll go away...sort of like your teeth: if you ignore them, they'll go away! bouncing and laughing

I highly suspect that TrollMoo is a frustrated teenage boy who, if he ever got any, got some poor bint knocked up on his first spew and who is now taking out his pitiful frustrations here. It's fixation with teeth tells a lot. smiling smiley


And as I'm only speaking for me (as we childfree are far from a monolithic group), the NYT is a fifth-column rag to which I hold no awe and no absolutely no more credit than due other sources. Who the holy hell cares about another's teeth? As far as I am concerned this obsession with big, shiny, white pearlies (think Osmonds people) is more trite than to those who neglect their orthodontic care. As long as my toothers chomp, I am happy. And I bite. Hard. Twice.

i saw a bus on the, moon, i saw elvis in my local shop, are they real too?

yes str8six, i just find it so amusing, she has nothing else to do. parenting is supposed to make you a better person, more caring, but in reality it blinds them, and hobbles them.

They cant see the woods for the trees. they are so focused on themselves and their spawn, that they dont see the bigger picture, which is what the cf can do. we can see whats best for everyone, and not let personal attachments get too involved.

Yes. I expect TrollCunt's life is ruined and she spends her time trawling the net trying to get away from the brats. These attacks on here are probably pent up frustration and jealousy at a ruined life. I suppose we ought to feel pity for this sad person, not hate.
She shows her ignorance even more by posting that the article came from the NYT paper!! There's no worse of a reference you could possibly use.

Definitely an entitlement junkie .
