American’s Not Listening to Their Dentist.
Dental disease is nearly 100 percent preventable yet fewer then 30 percent of people follow their dentist’s advice to brush and floss twice a day. People are dropping the ball with their at home dental care habits. In some state nearly 40 percent of people with dental insurance still do not regularly see their dentist. Early education about oral health care habits are important, and should be reinforced by parents, teachers and the community.
