Sevenoaks residents told to boil water before brushing.

Individuals living in Sevenoaks, Kent have been advised to boil water before brushing their teeth due to a contamination of the water supply in the area.

Cosmetic Dentistry Guide reported routine tests carried out by the Lullingstone Water Company have revealed a problem with the safety of the water supply and therefore, erring on the side of caution, 76 homes in the area have been contacted urging them to boil water before drinking or brushing their teeth.

The company noted that so far, no illness has been reported and the firm will contact those affected in the near future once the situation has been resolved and the water supply is once again safe.

An impromptu street theatre performance saw 25 students descend on WH Smith’s in Bath on Saturday (December 5th) to brush their teeth.

The Bath Chronicle reported Joshua Picton, who is studying at Dartington College of Arts, organised the event as he was interested in creating a spontaneous piece of theatre which could interact with the general public.

He commented: “Everyone was great and stayed in character; when people asked them what they were doing, they just said they wanted to brush their teeth.

“It went really well and we had some really good reactions from people.”
