Are You Part of the One Third of Americans Who Do Not Brush Their Teeth?

periodontist-stuart-florida-tooth-decay-prevention

According to a May 2, 2016 article in U.S. News, nearly a third of Americans never floss their teeth.

From the perspective of your local Stuart, FL periodontist...that's not a good thing.

From the article...The first nationally representative analysis designed to determine how many people floss their teeth found that those who floss daily amount to 30 percent of the population. Just over 37 percent report less than daily flossing; slightly over 32 percent say they never floss.

Proper and regular flossing can help delay or prevent tooth decay and gum disease. And the reality is that flossing only takes a few minutes...it's not difficult to add flossing to your daily oral care routine.

Unfortunately, men were more likely to 'not floss' than women. Older adults were also less likely to floss.
