“This man was a scientist, he must know. He also said that young couples have been advised by the government over the last few years to have an DNA test done before marriage, in order to prevent a further spread of this dental deformity.”

Thankfully, the GSK and Wrigley survey’s data proves that it is generally poor dental upkeep, and not incest, that creates an unfortunate stereotype for the dental health of the Irish.

Everyone's teeth, that don't have free or low cost dentistry avaiable to them are going to be less than perfect. Germany has a healthcare system that provides for all their people, so their teeth are going to be healthy. That's common sense. On the other hand, I think the smaller teeth that the Irish have are better looking. They look more refined.
Is anyone suing Joel or the Swiss magazine for her ascertains about incest and can she point out the one person who had the rodent like jaw? Beat up the Irish seems to be the order of the day and maybe they should take an example from the royal family. Even when it's their fault, they still sue. My Irish parents had their own teeth as do all of their children. I asked as a child if they had toothpaste and they said they brushed with baking soda powder. You can visit so many areas outside the big cities of the US and find so many middle aged and older people who have had false teeth since their twenties. That was because the dentists had no training and pulled teeth for the slightest reason. Some of these people were told they had pyorrhia which is now an easily cured gum disease. I have read and heard more than once however that the English have notoriously crooked teeth and have observed it on more than one occasion. In a US city these teeth would have been straightened by braces. Sue Joel and the magazine.
