Britain's Worst Teeth

Logo for Britain's Worst Teeth

Documentary following four twenty-somethings with some of the worst teeth in Britain. Their teeth are so bad they affect every aspect of their lives. They are in pain, they are embarrassed to go out, they find eating and speaking difficult, and they find it difficult to attract partners. Brother and sister Paul and Genna Leach are petrified of the dentist. Both recall horrific dentist experiences as children, the memory of which has stopped them from having all but emergency treatment for the last 10 years. Britain’s Worst Teeth follows these four terrifying journeys to the dentist chair, where top dentists will try and save their smiles with root canal treatments, bridges, fillings and veneers. If they have left it too late, the only treatment possible will be extraction and dentures.
