Unusual places to brush
A nationwide survey looking into some of the more unusual places we have brushed our teeth has discovered that we take our toothbrush no matter where we might go.
The research, commissioned by the British Dental Health Foundation as part of National Smile Month, questioned more than 2,000 Brits in order to try and provide an insight into the lengths we will go to in order to maintain good oral health.
The national survey uncovered everything from brushing teeth on the Great Wall of China, to a delivery room while their partner was giving birth – and everything in between.
Results showed that planes, trains and automobiles were popular choices, with one respondent even cleaning their teeth in a bomb shelter while holidaying in Israel.
More answers included camping in Yosemite National Park in California, in the Masi Mara while on safari and in the Australian Outback.
Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Nigel Carter OBE, says while some of the results bring a smile to his face, he is particularly pleased to see that so many of us will go great lengths to keep our good oral hygiene habits.
