oh - and smoothies are bad for your teeth

"Bad habits

The survey found that many people engage in very poor dental habits, with a significant number admitting to using every day items such as hammers, screwdrivers, scissors and lollipop sticks to pick food from between their teeth - risking cuts and infection.

More than a quarter (27%) of respondants said they had opened a bottle with their teeth.

More than one in ten (13%) of respondants admitted to flossing their teeth while driving.

Dr Carter said: "People are putting themselves at risk with these shocking habits - yet around 85% of people are completely unaware of the link between the health of the mouth and the health of the body." "

you need a chisel too when you're using a hammer, no wonder people have problems

thinking about it though i'd have used a hammer to get rid of my abcessed tooth a few months back (like tom hanks in castaway), if i couldn't get to a dentist.

though i'd suggest NOT using a wooden tooth pick as i'm sure this caused my abcess in the first place.

wooden tooth picks are the work of the devil
