Women Are Kicking Butt!

Did you know that women are kicking men's butts in terms of gum health? According to the Centers for Disease Control, women are 26 percent more likely than men to floss on a daily basis. In one study, women had better indicators of periodontal health, including lower incidence of dental plaque, calculus and bleeding; all of which can be used as markers of periodontal disease. Come on men- step it up!

  1. lol. now that is one good trivia. But, I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering all of the habits that I have. Women tend to be more health conscious while we tend to just have fun all the time.
    One of the ways that you can be updated with new stuff or techniques is by getting dental hygiene continuing education when you need it or when it is required of you.
