The wear quality of teeth has little to no genetic component, it's all to do with diet (when young and the teeth are developing) and oral hygiene.
And British teeth (in terms of function) are
among the best in the world. Due to NHS dentistry being free for children.
What we don't have is as much cosmetic dentistry as rich Americans. Poor Americans in general have much worse teeth.
