LOL you make me LOL..
You're probably refering to the American Dental insurance...they cover the cost for your braces if you do need it and it also pays for preiodic dental check ups..
And no, not all AMerican have good teeth.
And no...Mcdonald's isnt good for you......try limiting yourself there once a week.

"gums bled really badly" go see a dentist.
"big huge teeth like a horse" nice comparison!
"build bridge across the Atlantic" nah gonna happen.
"I am always in McDonalds" Checked your display picture, stop going to Mcdonalds or you won't be able to fit the dental seat.

Having your gums bleed is a sign you have weak gums so you should floss more. It could be just genetic. Some people just have bad teeth and all americans don't have perfect teeth. Mine are always going to be yellow for example.

Beer and cigarettes! I've got 32 straight teeth, never had braces, no cavities, tight gums, and been to the dentist only 5 or 6 times because I worked for one. I swear the dental cleanings help rot your teeth faster!

Not American, though can tell you the little I have found out about keeping good teeth. Mine are nothing to rave about, but I have them all still.
Brush using soft to ultra soft brush only.
Brush from gums down for top teeth, or up for the bottom teeth only--not side to side for side to side brushing can increase receding gums.
Alcohol based Mouthwash changes the bacterial composition somehow in your mouth and only serves to mask the smell and actually can be harmful...and you will have to use something prescribed from a dentist to rinse with to return your mouth to it's natural bacterial composition.
Teeth grinding is common and usually goes unnoticed for a long time. Teeth grinding assisted mouth pieces are recommended though very expensive, most people grind their teeth in their sleep and that cracks enamel and can lead to root canal.
Digital camera x-rays will show you exactly where the gum line is receding, and other poor features of your teeth, so shop for a dentist that uses that (as opposed to just regular x-rays) just to see your mouth up close on t.v. and that will help you to identify problems.
Simple quick rinse with water often after eating anything as opposed to rushing to brush your teeth every time, as vigorous brushing removes enamel, which will never grow back.
If you get a retainer you can store cold cuts in it for snack.....just seeing if you were reading......;)
Last thing, haven't tried it yet, but sensodyne toothpaste with enamel enhancer is supposed to help retain healthy enamel.

All the above responders have good advice...see the dentist for regular cleanings more often. If you're at McD's all the time you're probably having a Coke w/ that BigMac and fries. Soft drinks are killers to the teeth. Something to do w/ the phosphorous content. It breaks down Calcium in the body. Drink milk or take Calcium supplements. Keep flossing, daily, brush after every meal. Sounds like you're from Europe (duh?). Most American drinking water is flouridated and chlorinated. So...we Americans get a bit of dental hygiene every time we have a glass of water. Good luck to you, and Happy New Year!

Tom Cruise has nice teeth because he's a Level 7 Theta. Because he believes, much like colds or headaches, he hasn't had a cavity in years.
Build a bridge across the Atlantic? That's a big bridge. Tell you what. We'll build it, and then let you pay for it over the next 50 years with 2% interest, with annual payments and the ability to defer if you don't have the money at that time.
Do they have the McRib over there? Order me one of those.

Um, not all Americans are like the ones you see in the movies. THe reason they have white teeth is because of editing or whitening treatment.
You need to brush your teeth in the morning after breakfast and in the evening after dinner, if you don't, that's pretty disgusting actually. Also eating healthier food (ie NOT MacDonald's) stops tooth decay

lots of americans have jacked up teeth, just like every other country. I am, however, pretty fortunate and have nice straight teeth, so does my daughter thank god. you should brush every day at least twice, floss at least once a day, go to the dentist twice a year, and for the yellowness, get crest white strips

You should clean your teeth at least twice a day, preferably three times after meals. You should also floss or use interdens brushes to clean in between and use Mouthwash at least every morning after brushing. The bleeding may well be a symptom of gingivitis gum disease which if left untreated will result in bone loss and subsequent tooth loss (teeth become loose and painful as bone recedes). You should see your dentist twice annually for check ups. Americans on the whole invest in good dental care and cosmetic dentistry like whitening, veneers, bridges and crowns. You could have your teeth whitened but it is expensive and painful and you have other dental issues to address first. I'm not entirely sure your question is sincere.

Haha stop going to McDonalds. Its bad for your teeth. And you really should see a dentist twice a year.
As far as flossing, you have to do it even if your gums bleed. This is a sign of gingivitis and it wont go away unless you keep flossing. The bleeding will stop.
Use a flouride mouth wash every single day. And brush them EVERY day TWICE a day. Three if you can manage it.

Go to the dentist more often, and instead of using mouth wash once a week, use it everyday....twice a day if possible. And don't stop flossing even though your mouth bleeds. Once you put flossing in your daily routine your gums will toughen up and stop bleeding. You should also try maybe getting an electric tooth brush. They clean a lot better.

Well said crispy. It's about time somebody put out a welcoming still-greasy hand out to the fathers of junk food.
I don't know how they manage it either....I have seen that some have veneers put on their teeth ...because they are probably much worse than yours.
That's why their teeth look so big, it's because their fake teeth stick out from their mouths making them look kind of...er....plastic. I have noticed that Americans on TV all look fake, fraud and plastic and those tanned women in lycra on the Lateral thigh trainer (on late night tv ads) kind of remind me of Mr.Ed.
Well done for contributing to Anglo-American relations.

Well, that's half your problem. McDonald's food sucks.
Brush twice a day, and floss, no matter how much it hurts at first. Just keep doing it, and your teeth will get healthier.

Oh goooooooood question, darling. I'd like to know this too.
Actually, Americans, could you answer something for me as well?
How come none of you ever mention the amazing way you saved our limey asses in WW2? I mean, it was such an incredibly brave and courageous thing to do, any other nation would never shut up about it - but you guys, not a whisper.
I love you all, you mighty fine hunks of prime beef :-)
