Thanks to needing to wear masks in the COVID-19 environment, we all know how our breath smells. The upside is we are understanding the need for dental hygiene more, too.
Dr. Squatch and One Poll did a survey to find out about toothbrushing habits and the stats are surprising in some cases. Here’s what they discovered:
·81% say bad breath is a massive turn off
·Two-thirds of people don’t kiss their significant other in the morning due to morning breath
·Over half are concerned about their breath because they don’t want to be considered “dirty”
·35% Americans polled admit they don’t brush their teeth twice a day — nearly one in 10 say they don’t even brush once a day
·79% say they have to brush their teeth otherwise they’ll feel “off”
·34% struggle to remember to brush twice a day
·36% with a daily routine still are likely to miss the nighttime brushing
Dr. Squatch is taking advantage of the face mask eye opener to help people make tooth brushing a daily routine. They say, “We wanted to elevate brushing from a bothersome chore that you have to force yourself to do twice a day, to an engaging part of a healthy morning and night routine.”
