A survey of 2,000 UK adults found that only 12% consistently follow a dentist-recommended oral-care routine. Sixty-three percent brush for less than two minutes, 16% brush only once daily, 74% do not floss every day and 11% do not use fluoride toothpaste. The findings also highlight wider dental-care challenges, including untreated decay and severe gum disease. Oral-B has launched a nationwide dental-bus campaign offering education and advice, with the vehicle due to be donated to Dentaid for free community dental services after the tour.
