Brits advised against losing false teeth.
Brits have been warned against accidentally flushing their false teeth down the toilet after it emerged three-quarters of sewer blockages are caused by items which should not be down there. 
The Consumer Council for Water (CCW) noted valuables such as false teeth can be lost all the time and it can be very difficult to recover lost items once they get into the main sewer network.
Chief executive of the CCW Tony Smith said: “People who put things they shouldn’t down the loo could be flushing money away because the cost of having your own private drains unblocked can be expensive.”
Elsewhere, the Irish Independent recently reported Brits should take more care when brushing their teeth, as many people brush too hard and this can be one of the most damaging actions to oral health.
Furthermore, the article noted failing to brush properly can result in an increased chance of developing gum disease.
