A new survey reveals that 68% of Britons snack more than six times a day. Find out what it is doing to their health…
A growing trend of eating on the go and eating at the desk is impacting on our oral health. This new breed of dental grazers is putting their health at risk by failing to clean their teeth as frequently as they eat. This is especially true for those who spend long hours chained to their desks.
A faster paced work ethic, longer hours and shorter lunch breaks means 25% of office workers find it more convenient to snack throughout the day than stick to the traditional three meal regime. In fact, 62% admitted to eating on the go at least four times a week.
However, the oral health regime is failing to keep up with these grazers! This could mean the need for more treatments like gum disease treatment and dental decay treatment.
What does the survey show and how can your dentist London at The Perfect Smile Studios help?
65% of Britons admitted that despite snacking more throughout the day, their teeth cleaning routine hasn’t evolved to keep up. The survey reveals that Lawyers and bankers are the worst culprits, with 67% eating throughout the day but buck the national trend by consciously cleaning their teeth after every snack and drink. For those working in marketing and media, 35% were seemingly unconcerned about keeping their teeth clean throughout the day. Teachers are also skipping the dental health lessons with 68% admitting that, despite digging into their food up to six times a day, they only clean their teeth in the morning and evening.
We at The Perfect Smile Studios are concerned about these disturbing facts and figures and we want to help those at risk of dental disease.
We are providing all our patients and anyone who wishes to understand these risks further a FREE Consultation to talk about how we may be able to advise and help.
