Julia Roberts gives dentist a reason to smile
Julia Roberts' childhood dentist has had to hand out hundreds of tubes of toothpaste after pledging to do so if one of his patients ever won a big award.
Dr Ted Aspes of Smyrna, Georgia, treated Roberts 26 years ago .
After Roberts won the Best Actress award at the Oscars, Aspes had to make good his promise.
"I had two families waiting for me in the parking lot when I got here on Monday morning," Aspes said.
By late afternoon, Aspes had given out hundreds of tubes of mint-flavoured toothpaste.
Dr Aspes says he wasn't caught by surprise as he had expected Roberts to win.
"I ordered 10,000 tubes last week," he said.
"I usually order a few hundred. My distributor called and said 'Hey, doc, are you sure there isn't a comma in the wrong place?'."
