My Suspicions Confirmed

About Brits and their big teeth. I've always suspected this.

LONDON, May 12 (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 on Friday.

The National Dental Survey found that when it comes to oral hygiene, people use whatever is close to hand to pick their teeth. More than 60 percent questioned by the British Dental Health Foundation said they used makeshift items, which included knives, keys, needles and forks.

This story also ties in with a post I made last year. Sort of. Oh, and now the REST of the story.
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.
Hail Britannia.
