DISGUSTING!!
A worrying new study has found that nearly four in ten adults get around to brushing their teeth less than once in a single week.
The survey found that 39 % of adults between 25 and 34 go a whole week without cleaning their teeth.
Over 30 percent of respondents admit they often just forget to brush.
Researchers note that their findings confirm the theory that many people often overlook their dental health when they’re focusing on other health issues.
Not all millennials drop the ball on their dental health, as 63% of respondents in this age group say they brush at least three times a day.
That’s good news because previous studies find that frequently brushing daily lowers the risk of heart failure by 12%.
However, before we put all the blame on millennials, younger adults aren’t the only ones slacking off when it comes to dental hygiene
The poll finds 36% of adults between 35 and 44 have never used mouthwash despite the many benefits it brings to the table.
That’s bad news for many singletons on a date, since 36% also say they notice someone’s breath when meeting them for the first time.
Although plenty of adults are practicing good oral health, the survey finds many need to do a little less sharing in the bathroom!
Nearly three in 10 (28%) revealed that they have shared their toothbrush with another person at least once.
The same number add that they actually share their brush with someone in their home on a daily basis.
