People who have good teeth and access to dental care don't realize what a huge problem this is.  Your teeth can affect your health, even kill you.  And having your teeth look bad is a huge impediment to not only your social life and well-being, but to your ability to be gainfully employed.  

Who wants to hire someone with rotten or missing teeth?  You can't put that shit out there in front of the public!  And what choices do the people have?

I must be unemployable then! by far the majority of my teeth are plastic.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Plastic is ok -- as long as they're something whitish and there's no gaps.  

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Well the colour does seem to match. Thanks to the Influx of Polish dentists we had a year ago.

See?  There you go -- they don't have to be nice, just look nice.  That's what the Give Back a Smile thing does mostly - fake teeth.  I wouldn't mind some plastic ones about now...

I almost feel guilty, seeing as with the aid of the national health, I've had about 20 teeth removed, and upper and lower false teeth, and it's cost me around £200 for the replacements.
