12% of people aren't brushing their teeth daily -- eeew!
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
This is a statistic I can honestly say shocked me: 12% of people don't brush their teeth daily. Eeeeew! And it's not like they only brush once a day or something, which would be bad enough, but they don't even brush every day. Wow! Now this was a British survey, so I'm hoping we're better than that over here in the U.S. Overall oral health has improved by leaps and bounds over the last 30 years or so, but obviously there is still room for improvement. And your oral health is not an area to be fudging on as it's been linked to heart disease and all kinds of other seemingly unrelated health conditions in recent research.
So brush and floss, people! We all need to, but those 12% especially -- you know who you are...

I'm a slacker, but even I can manage to brush my teeth at least once a day!
And if 12 percent actually admit it, I'll bet the real percentage is even higher than that.
Yuck.
