Millennial Brushing Habits, Bad Breath, and Tooth decay!
A new study into the dental hygiene habits of 2,000 Americans found three in ten millennials studied only brush their teeth once a day. Results also showed the average millennial surveyed has gone more than two days at a time without brushing their teeth at least once.
Plaque (bacterial colonies) cling to teeth with sugars they make specific for this attachment. They eat what you eat or what passes over their colonies. The end products of their metabolism are sulfur rich and acidic. Leading to bad breath as well as tooth decay. The plaques if left on for a while wil mineralize and become tartar/calculus which cannot be removed just by brushing where plaque can.
We recommend brushing twice a day to remove plaque before it becomes calculus and visiting the dentist regularly to keep your smile healthy and bright!
