We recently carried out a survey on behalf of Clinomyn Smokers Toothpaste and were rather shocked at the results! It showed only 50% of the nation consistently clean their teeth every morning and evening â gross! The Independent on Sunday agreed with us and the result was this very interesting piece on dental hygiene and what we should and should not be putting into our mouths.
The moral of the story is age-old and simple: brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, floss daily (yes we know itâs a pain but itâs worth avoiding halitosis!), make sure you visit your dentist regularly â at least one a year, and donât rely too heavily on quick fixes such as mints which only cover rather than cure horrible hygiene habits.
Did you knowâ¦
- Brits aged 16-24 are almost three times less likely to brush their teeth regularly than those aged 55+
- A third of Britons never, ever floss their teeth
- Three quarters of Britons would not be offended if someone commented on the state of their teeth, butâ¦
- 91% would not tell someone if they had bad teeth or halitosis
- 20 million Brits wish their teeth were whiter and cleaner
