UK Teeth Habits Shocking Stats | UK News

Most Brits think they’re nailing their oral hygiene, but nearly 90% fall short of the two-minute brush time dentists recommend—and half only brush once a day. Seventy-four percent skip daily flossing, many still use manual toothbrushes, and some don’t even know they’re using fluoride toothpaste. With dental visits out of reach for many, home care is more vital than ever: a quarter of adults have untreated cavities and serious gum disease.

While most prioritize fitness or diet over teeth, Gen Z is surprisingly open to advice—maybe the future’s brighter for smiles.
