The findings also highlight poor access to dental care, untreated tooth decay and severe gum disease, while younger adults show interest in improving their habits with better advice. Oral-B is launching its Brush for Better dental-bus campaign across the UK, with the vehicle ultimately being donated to Dentaid to support free care and oral-health education in underserved communities.
