Posted on: For the Love of Straight Teeth

Ha ha! I told my dentist that American actors and actresses and newscasters have the best teeth in the world. My daughter is going to have braces and we are looking at $3,000.00 with partial dental insurance coverage. Many of her classmates already have them. I must say that the US pediatric dentistry has many excellent preventive care, like sealants and Fluoride treatments (covered by insurance, thank goodness). She has just 1 or 2 cavities.

谢谢!我虽然不是中国人,但身为华裔,2008 北京奥运会给了我一个深刻的印象。我不断在想,如果我爸爸还在世,一定会感到非常自豪!
