“There has been a clear evolution in oral hygiene habits of the population, especially young people, but I think this change is still not enough and we need to go further. It is important to keep insisting when you consider that there are still people who never brush your teeth or it does after every meal. In addition, currently there is the paradox of people who are made complicated and expensive treatments of orthodontics and then not comply with oral hygiene routine. ”

“Although it has improved greatly in recent years, oral hygiene is currently pending for many Spanish. I think adults need to motivate them even more than children. In addition, adult children imitate their parents and acquire the habit. It should enhance brushing and flossing step between teeth, as many people who brush every day without getting a good result with each cleaning. ”
