Sorry but I would hate if everyone on this side of the pond had ridiculous looking teeth like many of our american friends! I find them ‘stepford’ like in their approach to dentistry, and as a formal dental nurse who has seen many many many smiles, I prefer the odd snaggletooth, a little peg, or a lovely overbite to add to someones character!

My man has a chipped front tooth, and its one of the most attractive things about him!!

I went to the dentist yesterday. Need two fillings, so another appointment has been scheduled. Funnily enough the dentist remembered me after 2 years since my last visit and I’ve only seen her twice in my life so far. I guess it’s difficult to forget the heavily pregnant woman we squirmed like a wuss while she was doing her job, and afterwards apologising for being pathetic… (trying to think happy thoughts)

This may be the only reason why I wouldn’t move to England. Yikes.

I love Panna Cotta….and I also love going to the dentist. No kidding. A few years back when I finally started working for a company with employee benefits I was DEEEElighted. But the company sucked. It was misery. The benefits weren’t worth it. My present job only has regular dental every 9 months instead of 6 which is disappointing, but still worth it for not wanting to stick my fist through my monitor on a daily basis. And did I mention that I love panna cotta? Almost as much as my dentist.

I get my teeth cleaned twice a year, and a full exam annually. I don’t pay for all this insurance for nothing! That said, I am blessed with good genes – wouldn’ta been able to afford my straight teeth until adulthood, elsewise.

Oh my goodness – I loved the slideshow and the post. I am an American who visits my dentist every six months and have a mouthful of straight white teeth that’s living in London. I must admit when it comes to teeth the Brits have been the butt of many jokes. My husband and I have actually got an acronym – BTB. It stands for buck tooth brit. I know its a little mean, but man have we seen some interesting arrangements for teeth here in Britain.

Espresso panna cotta – yum. A little baking soda + hydrogen peroxide and the evidence will be left behind.
