Brits Pulling Own Teeth and Doing Own Dental Work

Brits are unable to afford trips to the dentist, and some are even resorting to pulling their own teeth and repairing their own bridge and crownwork. No wonder people always goof on Brits for having bad teeth...

The National Health System doesn't cover dental care except for children, pregnant women and necessary work, but necessary work only gets partial coverage.   There is a shortage of dentists in Britain, and the limited number they have are often overworked and overscheduled.  Some Brits are going overseas to have work done. 

I think we ought to be charitable and send a few of ours over...



This is obligatory too...

1 There's a link to this story (via a CNN post) on www.memeorandum.com.  If you include that link in your existing post, you may get included in their traffic volume.  They have a strange algorithm for cross-posting, etc... Just a thought (for what it's worth)...

2 When I used to work as a dental assistant for an endodontist, we'd have people fly in from England and Japan all the time for dental work.

3 Yeah, I should do that, Belle.  I got linked by them once or twice before.
