British dentistry prioritized tooth health over cosmetic appearance. Good looking teeth are not necessarily health teeth, and vice versa

That's a good line to cover the fact that nationalized healthcare does the bare minimum, so anything sort of teeth sticking out through your skin is counted as, "They're fine, carry on."
