Actress Alex Kingston smashed her two front teeth when she collapsed following a head injury.

The former ER star was taken to hospital for emergency treatment to a horrifying wound after falling over and biting through her bottom lip.

She had collapsed after suffering a dizzy spell following an incident earlier in the day when she hit her head on a lamp post.

She told chat show host Graham Norton: 'I was jetlagged, working with comedians and I walked into a lamp post. It was a comedy moment, but I was so embarrassed because I thought I would be the butt of their jokes so I pretended I was fine and that night I started to feel really woozy and I fell flat on my face.

'I bit through my lower lip and knocked out my front teeth. It was really awful. I was doubly concussed and had to go straight to ER.'

What's one of them? Are they any better than a 'normal' dentist?

I believe they have fancy websites, with loads of Z-list out-of-work soap actors 'endorsing' their clinical skills. They also often form their own 'clinical academy' of some sort. Regularly, they are 'the only European' to have successfully 'qualified' at Dr Eugene Hamburgersauce III's similar academy in Florida. Quite often, they run expensive 'courses' - usually in London, but sometimes in a nice ski resort, for example - telling other suckers how to vapourise lots of tooth enamel. No names, no pack drill ...... ;-)) !

So they don't necessarily have to be excellent dentists, just bloody good at selling themselves.

I think, toothgerm, in the words of the Roy Orbison song title (and there was someone with real talent - Elvis always said The Big 'O' was the best singer in the world) 'You Got It'.
