Churchill's key ally was his dentist because he feared his teeth problems would affect his public speaking (Evening Standard)

Letters have revealed that Winston Churchill's key ally was his dentist - as his biggest fear was losing his ability to speak because he had problems with his teeth. So our country's greatest ever Prime Minister enlisted the most acclaimed dentist of his generation - Sir Wilfred Fish. Churchill roused the country to victory over Hitler with his stirring speeches - and it is thought that without the top-class dentist he wouldn't have been on such fine form. Aged 79 at the time and in his final term as Prime Minister, Churchill also enclosed a set of his false teeth for repair. Sir Wilfred designed Churchill's false teeth, which were made by his dental technician Derek Cudlipp. Loot | Jobsite | Homes & property | London jobs | FindaProperty. read more
