Help for snorers, saving teeth and how flies can help heal cuts. House fly larvae have a remarkable ability to heal wounds, with maggots only eating dead or dying flesh. Now doctors are looking to see how they can use flies to help treat those with serious injuries. The programme also has some news for those who snore and also what to do if you get a tooth knocked out.
