Oral Health Habits of Canadians & Giveaway
Oral health has always been very important for our family. We have been teaching our children about good oral health care habits since very early on. Getting them into a daily routine young, even before they have teeth, can help avoid future dental problems. With so many health problems associated with poor oral health, it is important to ensure that your overall health isn’t affected in any way.
Research has shown that there is an association between oral disease and many other health problems including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory illness. Evidence also show that oral disease can make other health problems worse and that oral health plays a very important part of a healthy life.
With the help of Arm & Hammer Dental products, everyone can make sure that their teeth are clean, fresh, and feel revitalized. Arm & Hammer Dental recently published the results of a survey offering very interesting oral health statistics regarding the oral health habits of Canadians.
I believe that these statistics are good and clearly demonstrate how important oral health is to Canadians. I was however a little surprised to find out that 51% of Canadians floss less than once a day and that only 54% of us brushes their teeth at least once a day.
Thankfully, Arm & Hammer Dental would love to help us increase these statistics by offering one of our readers a chance to win a $100 Prize Pack! You will get a nice mix of products, including toothbrushes to stay on top of your oral health. Enter using the form below. Open to Canadian residents only. The winner will be contacted by email and will have 48 hours to claim their prize. Good luck and take care of your oral health!
