Dentists Beg Brits Not to Floss with Screwdrivers
Arthur Lemming, Special Investigator, British Dental Association
Brits use whatever’s at hand to pick their teeth according to a survey conducted by the British Dental Health Foundation.
More than 60 percent use items such as screwdrivers, scissors, earrings, knives, keys, needles, paper clips, matchsticks, nail files, pencils and forks to remove food from between their teeth.
With the start of National Smile Month just around the corner (Sunday, May 14th) Brits are advised not to floss with screwdrivers or other dangerous items.

Those inter-dental wood sticks are crap, they break with the slightest bit of pressure.
ReplyDeleteBetter off not chewing with teeth with small gaps next to them. (I chew to the right). Or eating baby food.
I think Shane stopped chewing years ago when he discovered there is such a thing as a liquid lunch.
Geoff: Mind the gap.
ReplyDeleteI feel a certain kinship with the british and their bad teeth. They remind me of my southern bretren who have four teeth...one in their mouth and three in their pocket.
