The Public Speaks Up on Oral Health Care
The American Dental Association in collaboration with Crest® and Oral-B® revealed findings from a national public opinion survey on oral health care. While Americans deem the smile the most important physical attribute, a surprising 37 percent of Americans don’t know that poor oral health has been associated with serious health conditions such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes. Learn more about the survey results, cavity prevention tips and some important reasons to see your dentist.
