Dame Judi Dench had a dental mishap while working on a Christmas special of BBC One’s Cranford when she lost a crown.
The Press Association reported the Oscar-winning actress had to find a London emergency dentist quickly, but was on a tight shooting schedule and therefore had to visit the dentist in full costume.
“There wasn’t time for me to change,” Dame Judi said.
“So I was in my wig and bonnet and all my clothes. I went into the waiting room and sat and registered and everyone kept looking at me.”
Elsewhere, Dr Brian Gold of Monticello, New York, recently advised people to have an emergency dentistry kit as part of their first aid provisions.
He noted that no-one can ever forecast when they will have an oral emergency and therefore it is prudent to keep a supply of ibuprofen, soft dental floss, tweezers and gauze in their first aid kits.
