You'll NEVER guess what these dentists found in their patients' mouths

Dentists have been revealing their patient's most disgusting habits

NO-ONE enjoys going to the dentist but after reading this feature you might wonder about the state of the nation's oral hygiene.

 

Dentists have a tough job rooting around in our mouths trying to keep everything in order for 70+ years. 

But when you read about the weirdest things they've ever found in a patient's mouth, it's sure to make you feel brilliantly dull. 

 

Unless you eat sweet wrappers or have a plant growing out of your teeth - you'll find these as shocking as we did. 

The quotes are courtesy of Clinic Compare who spoke to dentists and dental nurses across the country and asked 'what is the weirdest thing you have found in someone's mouth?'

 

People have been found to have plants and old food stuck in their teeth

The company said the answers were "pretty…interesting" and we totally agree. 

1. "An intact slice of gherkin. It smelt like a hot burger gherkin. Safe to say I don't eat those any more.: 

2. "Growing tomato seed under a denture."

3. "Super glue stuck all over the roof of the patient's mouth from where they tried to superglue their crown back in."

 

One dentist found wads of wet tissue paper blocking a hole in their patient's palate

4. "A fishing fly." (Enough said.) 

5. "Wads of wet tissue paper blocking a hole in their palate as a makeshift prosthesis. The patient proudly explained he changed it once a week."

6. "Excessive amounts of tartar so much so the tooth could not be identified."

7. "Peanut shell wedged in the patient's lip. They hadn't noticed."

8. "A black wiry hair. They did not have a moustache."

9. "A whole blueberry skin neatly enveloping an entire molar like a glove."

10. "Sweetie wrappers. Plural."
