FOR many people, a trip to the dentist still evokes unpleasant childhood memories of big needles and screeching drills. And judging by data from an OECD report, “Health at a glance”, released on Tuesday December 8th, eastern European adults will be having nightmares for years to come. Polish children have the worst teeth in any OECD country; a 12 year old has nearly four teeth that are missing, decayed or have a filling. American adults are renowned for having perfect sets of pearly whites, but each child has one decayed or missing tooth. Britain's children (along with Germany's) have the healthiest teeth, if not the straighest or whitest in later life.

 I always thought it was Britain. Hmmm...interesting. :)

But then, that is measured by 12 year olds who still have many baby teeth and are just getting their adult teeth. Find a poll pf 30 year olds and lets see how it comes out.

This could just be a case of stats misleading facts.
