A man from Indonesia has needed emergency dentistry after his cigarette exploded.
A man in Indonesia had to have emergency dentistry treatment after a cigarette he was smoking exploded in his mouth causing him to lose a number of teeth.
The man was riding his motorcycle at the time and the explosion resulted in him losing six teeth and needing 51 stitches.
A spokesman for Clas Mild cigarettes, the brand Mr Susanto had been smoking, commented: “We are communicating with the police and still waiting on the forensic laboratory tests.
“We do not put any strange materials in the cigarettes, so we think that this is a weird case.”
Elsewhere, News Sentinel recently reported the debate continues to be held in the US over whether dentists should still be using mercury amalgam for fillings.
The treatment has been widespread, especially in those aged over 40. However, there are now concerns that the heavy metal used in the amalgam could cause long-term illness.
