Arthur Lemming, Special Investigator, British Dental AssociationBrits 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.
