Probably somewhere around 1930's just like here in the US Dentistry to cover up the missing nutrition took a bit longer time to be applied there, now we are the same, I'm thinking. Of course, your teeth are just the organs that show. The rest of the body is still degenerating, resulting in all those modern diseases that are so "mysterious".

There is "free" National Health Service dental care. I pay for mine, though. Here's an anecdote, for you; My old Mum, she lived to be 89 years old, died with 31 of her original 32 teeth. She was born in 1929, and "missed out" on the NHS dental "care" program. I was born in 1954, and went through the NHS dental "care" mill. ALL my molars, and most pre-molars, were drilled 'n filled, with mercury poison. NHS "dentists" did this, as a matter of course, because the NHS paid them by tooth fillings. So, even if you had perfectly healthy molars, they WOULD be drilled 'n filled. When most of my molars began collapsing, a few years ago, I had them repaired with ceramic in-fills. And paid for this, out of my own pocket. Last Edited by LJS on 12/06/2018 02:29 PM Don't Steltzner me, bro! |

Dental care is not free for everyone. If you are unemployed or a pensioner dental treatment is free. If you work dental treatment is expensive. |

And super white is not normal color that's also artificial and caused be having professional teeth whitening procedure. Quoting: Agent Smith 2014 Truth! Your teeth can be stained, and crooked, but still super-healthy. Whereas Americans have a fetish about regularized, Hellyweird ultra-white chompers, that are nasty, and rotting, where you can't see!
