most people’s teeth in europe do not look great.. specially when compared to north americans.

from my experience, only people who are serious about their mouth health and go to the dentist at least twice a year, seem to have healthy and good looking teeth.

Twice a year? That's only recommended by dentists in north america because most insurances cover it because of lobby pressure. Every 1-2 years fully suffices, depending on your risk profile (smoker, genetics, ...). That's what countries where the insurrance doesn't have skin in the game recommend.

And the average european has much better tooth health than the average u.s. citizen, in my experience.

> people’s teeth in europe do not look great

What an offensive statement. Based on what? N=5 observation?

[isleyaardvark]

There's a difference between cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening and the like) and regular dental health.
