A recent Xylifresh study reveals that half of Dutch people fail to properly care for their teeth.
80 percent of dentists agree the Dutch are too lax about oral hygiene – citing lack of awareness and time constraints as key reasons.
Dentists stress brushing several times daily, yet the average Dutch person brushes just once, for only 42 seconds instead of the recommended two minutes.
After every snack, thorough cleaning is advised. When brushing isn't feasible, opt for xylitol chewing gum. It combats plaque formation by caries bacteria, which produce acids leading to decay.
