A driver in the US may be tempted to get dental implants after an accident which saw him lose his false teeth.
The unnamed motorist lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a house in Seattle, KIRO 7 reports.
Fortunately, he only sustained minor injuries, but the impact was such that his false teeth were flung from his mouth and ended up on the front lawn of the property.
In another lucky twist of fate, the owners of the house were not using the room damaged in the accident, which could have avoided further injuries.
The 24-year-old driver was taken to a medical centre for treatment, but he may be tempted to replace his dentures with dental implants.
As they are fitted into the jaw bone itself, they are much more secure and will withstand virtually anything.
John DeSanto – who has had dental implants – recently told PennLive.com that the two teeth he had replaced are stronger than the rest of his jaw.
