it is down to how we was brought up, you brush your teeth this way or that way, or is it we brittish seem to have the worst teeth ever, i brush my teeth go to the dentist but to tell the truth i dont like my teeth at all, i smile and laugh more now then i have ever done but i wished my teeth was straighter, and white, my dentist says, yes you have had lots of problems in you younger days but as they are now there is nothing we can do other then just look after them, so do i blame my mum, the school dentist, ie the butcher, or is it we are just born like it,i dont want the american white teeth smile, but also i dont like to visit the dentist too when my appointment is due which is this month
