FDA 2 In 1 Toothbrush And Water Flosser Rechargeable Cordless Oral Irrigator Fc163

Procter & Gamble (P&G) brands Oral-B and Crest conducted a survey of nearly 3,000 people in the United States and Western Europe to better understand oral care habits today. The data resulted in several tips that can help people improve their personal health and reduce the environmental impact of their oral care routine.

1. Brush Twice Daily: The World Health Organization recommends brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes to help reduce plaque bacteria and tartar buildup, cavities, and gum issues. People surveyed who skip brushing claim it’s because they fell asleep (27%), were too tired (24%) or felt too lazy (23%).
2. Turn Off the Tap: Beyond personal health benefits, simple choices people make during their oral care routine can help reduce their environmental footprint. Almost 1 in 4 (24%) respondents admit to leaving the tap running while brushing their teeth and more than 1 in 2 (60%) underestimate the amount of water wasted every minute it is on. Turning off the tap can save up to 8 gallons of water a day. Even better, people can consume less energy by opting for cold water.
