Caring Dentist

I heard this random fact on a site
"On average, half of all false teeth have some form of radioactivity."
And want to know if this is true, and why it is? I'd rather live toothless.

False teeth are often radioactive. Approximately 1 million Americans wear some form of denture; half of these dentures are made of a porcelain compound laced with minute amounts of uranium to stimulate fluorescence. Without the uranium additive, the dentures would be a dull green color when seen under artificial light.
