UltraDEX has released the results of an oral health survey to mark National Smile Month. The survey revealed that, while people are concerned about losing their teeth, only 10% of them actually follow the recommended regime for good oral health.

The survey of 1,000 adults over 35 found that dental advice is key to improving oral health, with 66% saying dentists are their biggest influence on their oral health habits. However, only 50% of those surveyed keep to the recommended twice-a-year dental check-ups.

Eighty-seven percent of respondents to the survey identified bad breath and gum disease as two of their top concerns, yet 6% said they hadn't been to the dentist since they were a child and 5% claimed to never use toothpaste.

The UltraDEX Performance Oral Care range offers a complete regime that protects teeth and gums, restores natural whiteness and instantly eliminates bad breath for 12 hours.
