French Teeth

Did you know that half of all French children under the age of five have never brushed their teeth?

My family went to the French Riviera (or Cote d'Azur if you're French) this past July for a wonderful 10-day vacation. The water was a beautiful blue, the sun was warm, the beach at Saint Tropez was perfectly sandy if you like sandy beaches. And there were lots of young French families on summer vacation. I was simply amazed at how many French families seemed to have three - five kids strapped in strollers or roaming through the streets. I guess they can afford to have so many children because they don't have to buy them toothpaste or dental floss, braces or regular cleanings.

But, eww....pass me the toothbrush, please!
