A man whose house was destroyed by a digger has found his broken tooth in the rubble.

James Havard broke the false tooth from his £800 bridge while chewing a toffee and stowed it in a bedroom drawer. He was due to see the dentist to have it reattached when his house in Bradwell on Sea was destroyed by a digger.

But now, while "clawing through the debris" Mr Harvard has found the tooth so the repair can go ahead.
