​The majority of Brits haven’t been keeping their teeth in good order during lockdown.

That's according to research by dental health startup, Floe Oral Care.

Only one in eight (12%) have been brushing their teeth twice daily, the recommended routine by dental clinicians,

Almost half (44%) have been doing it just once a day and 18% admitted to not brushing their teeth on a daily basis.

Although dental surgeries have been open for almost a month now, NHS appointments backlog have doubled, and they are facing significant challenges on how they can operate and what services they can provide.

British consumers aren’t aware of how often they should be replacing their toothbrush either.
