Car park at a nearby school has this thing labelled “dental box”. From a quick glance it looks like some sort of pipes – no drills or gauze. Any ideas what this could be?

1. It’s where the Toothfairy picks up all the teeth knocked out by the kids scrapping in the playground.

2. A place to put your spare teeth obviously?

3. Looks like a little plaque to me.

4. I wonder if it is a remnant from the national school dental service. They were a mobile dentists or local authority-run clinics who provided free care. They had boxes you could drop off your documents

5. Clearly a dental box mate

6. Tooth fairy’s shed.

7. According to a quick Google:

   In the UK, it is a secure box for disposing of amalgam waste from dental practices. This is often located outside the practice for collection by a waste disposal company (as depicted in the image).

8. I would love it if you filled it with tooth fairy stuff for all the local kids.

12. It’s a DENIAL box

13. Pretty sure you just loop a bit of string through that door and shut it quickly. /s

16. A few more questions? The brick work is clean and new. The door isn’t closed? You didn’t take more than one picture?
