London - More than 60% 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% questioned by the British Dental Health Foundation said they used makeshift items, which included knives, keys, needles and forks.
The survey also found that 23% of people choose to leave food stuck between their teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease and bad breath, the foundation, which promotes oral health, said in a statement.
