Truth or Myth? Global Survey for World Oral Health Day Exposes the Truth About our Oral Health Habits |
|
Geneva, Switzerland, 20 March, 2017 (APA/OTS) - Today on World Oral Health Day, FDI World Dental Federation is myth busting what people around the world believe to be good oral health practices, encouraging them to become better informed and take action. Oral health is integral to our general health and well-being; impacting every aspect of our lives. |
Multi Media Release:

The results from a survey carried out in 12 countries, by YouGov on
behalf of FDI, exposed a significant gap between what people believe
to be good oral health practices, versus what they actually do.
Eight of the countries reported that 50 percent or more of the
people surveyed think it is important to brush your teeth straight
after every main meal. Brazil, Mexico, Egypt and Poland were the
worst offenders of this incorrect oral health practice (84%, 81%,
62% and 60% respectively). FDI recommends waiting at least 30
minutes after eating to brush your teeth to avoid weakening tooth
enamel.
"These survey results highlight an alarming discrepancy between
knowledge and actual good oral health practices," said Dr Patrick
Hescot, FDI President. "We want everyone to take control of their
oral health this World Oral Health Day and understand that by
adopting good oral hygiene habits, avoiding risk factors and having
a regular dental check-up, they can help protect their mouths. A
healthy mouth allows us to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew,
swallow and convey a range of emotions with confidence and without
pain, discomfort and disease. Good oral health matters and
translates to a better quality of life."
The majority of countries surveyed incorrectly believe that rinsing
the mouth out with water after brushing is important; Brazil, South
Africa, Mexico, India and Canada were found to practice this myth
the most (77%, 75%, 73%, 67% and 67% respectively). It is actually
recommended not to rinse with water straight after brushing to allow
maximum exposure to fluoride, which will optimize the preventative
effects.
Nearly half the population surveyed in India, South Africa, Brazil
and Poland (52%, 49%, 48% and 42% respectively), felt that drinking
fruit juice rather than fizzy drinks was important for good oral
health. Fruit juice however, can also be high in sugar which can
cause tooth decay. FDI recommends keeping consumption of sugary
drinks to a minimum as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Dr Edoardo Cavalle, WOHD Task Team Chair, stated "Understanding
good oral health practices and adopting them early in life, will
help to maintain optimal oral health into old age and ensure you
live a long life free from physical pain and often emotional
suffering caused by oral disease."
Other key findings on oral health practices include:
- 77 percent of people surveyed agreed that visiting a dentist
once per year is good oral health practice, but only 52 percent
actually tend to do it
- Only 28 percent of respondents identified drinking alcohol in
moderation as important for good oral health
