Fun Dental Facts

• Top of the American teeth stakes in the poll for greatest looking teeth were Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
• Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.
• The number of cavities in the average mouth is down and people are keeping their teeth longer. People, on average, have healthier mouths than even 10 years ago. Specifically:

---The decline in tooth decay was greatest among kids, but holds across every age group.
---Only 40% of young people age 6 to 19 have ever in their lives had cavities. That’s down from 50% a decade ago.
---Use of dental sealants, which block tooth decay on the chewing surfaces of kids’ vulnerable molars, was up 64%. 30% of kids had had at least one sealed tooth.
---Adults with post-high-school diplomas have an average of three more teeth than those without a high school diploma.
---Smokers remain three times more likely than non-smokers to lose all their teeth. This figure has not changed from a decade ago.
---Socio-economic status plays a definite role in one’s general and dental health.33% of low-income adults have untreated decay. This compares with 16% of middle- and higher-income adults. 19% of kids living in poverty have untreated decay, compared with 8% of wealthier kids.
• The average toothbrush contains about 2,500 bristles grouped into about 40 tufts per toothbrush.
• The average woman smiles about 62 times a day! A man? Only 8!
Kids laugh around 400 times a day. Grown-ups just 15. Smilers in school yearbooks are more likely to have successful careers and marriages than poker faced peers.
• According to a 1997 Gallup Poll, dentistry is the fifth most trusted profession in America.
• Tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease among children ages 5-17 with 59% affected.
• More than 51 million hours of school are lost each year by children due to dental related illness.
