Can anyone explain this disturbing chart?
Is there something wrong with Slavic teeth?

Well, The Economist is a British rag. Perhaps this is state propaganda...

Haha. Well, I think one thing is for sure: the world is united in its view that there are no people anywhere who are less cool than the Germans.

Ok, but what about Polish teeth? What's so wrong with them that they top this list?

That makes sense, but then we have South Korea, which is generally known to be one of the richer countries, listed as the 4th-worst.
My lady is Polish and she has many, many fillings (former cavities). She often complains about the poor quality of the dentists in Poland, as basically being medical quacks with bad judgment and sketchy business practices. Routinely she is having her Polish fillings replaced with ones from my country.

Sorry, I have editorial tendencies.
Woww...
However, your title is exaggerated.
Sorry, I have editorial tendencies.
the water in poland does not have fluoride in it. Children in this country have black teeth because parents put juice in bottles causing "bottle rot" in the teeth. In Canada it is recommended not to give juice until 1 year old and out of a cup- in Poland they have juice from day one.
Also, there is an iodine deficency in the soil. What this means is that vegetables and fruits and other products such as beef that are raised using soil/ grass have less iodine than other parts of the world- I have to take iodine supplements.
People don't typically drink tap water here anyway, unless it is boiled in coffee or tea.
