LONDON, England (Reuters) -- More than 60 percent of Britons use items such
as screwdrivers, scissors and earrings to remove food from between their
teeth, according to a survey published on Friday.
The National Dental Survey found that, when it came to oral hygiene, people
used whatever was close to hand to pick their teeth.
More than 60 percent questioned by the British Dental Health Foundation said
they used makeshift items, including knives, keys, needles and forks.
The survey also found that 23 percent of people chose to leave food stuck
between their teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease and bad breath,
according to the foundation which promotes oral health.
**My wife Kanoknuan never uses a toothpick or dental floss to remove food
from between her teeth. Instead she does her oral hygiene routine at the
same time that she 'entertains' her clients...... :-)
