Cash-strapped Brits are flogging their gold teeth to pay bills, industry experts claim

Published on March 25, 2025 at 10:28 PM

DESPERATE Brits are flogging their gold teeth to pay their bills, industry experts claim.

One company boss says he is receiving 12 bags of metal gnashers a week as people scramble for cash.

Jon White, of Gold Traders, said of his clients: “Some have resorted to removing gold crowns to raise cash to pay bills, which is distressing.”;

He added that his firm in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wilts, is currently buying around £100,000 worth of gold every day.

The price of the precious metal has risen 50 per cent in the last two years to £2,300 per ounce.

And US policies under Donald Trump could see “safe bet”; gold’s value rise even higher, analysts say.

Mr White added: “We’re about to hit April when people’s bills will go up so they have to find more money.

“Trading in their gold is a good option.”;

Among items cash-strapped Brits are selling include wedding rings, charm bracelets, gold sovereigns, and a “steady increase in gold teeth”;.

Mr White added: “Our team primarily handles jewellery and gold coins that members of the public have stashed away for a rainy day, but we do buy gold teeth and other medical scrap metal from dentists.”;
