If people have good teeth to start off with. I don't, and finding money for
serious treatment on the NHS could be difficult. Private care is simply
unaffordable. I don't want whitening, straightening, gold filling, crowning,
capping, or root canalling. I just want teeth that don't hurt and are
reasonably efficient for eating. And for a supposedly developed country that
really shouldn't be too much to ask.
