Did it ever occur to Americans that stereotypes on British teeth are because in the UK dentists cost money?

Dentists in the UK require no upfront treatment on the tax-based NHS system in the UK up to age 18. After age 18, the costs are: �17 for a check and cleaning, �45,60 for cleaning + fillings + dentures, �117 for root c, bridges, etc. + cleaning. The reason for not caring about going to the dentist is because in Britain people don't want to pay upfront for the dentist because it is expensive. �45,60 for a few fillings is expensive by British standards, although the price goes through the roof expensive in the USA. Paying for healthcare upfront in addition to the healthcare is not appealing, and so going to the dentist is not a primary priority in the UK. Any healthcare that would cost money except taxes in the UK would not be entertained. Why do you think there are so few orthodontists in Britain? It costs too much bloody money!
