Oral and dental health and hygiene is one of the most important and attractive trait for the human population. Teeth are a prime part of our body. These pearly whites need regular care as they cannot be easily replaced. In fact, dental care is expensive in the long run. Thus, the best way to care for one’s teeth is the brush regularly with the right choice of toothbrush and toothpaste.
Indeed, there is a wide variety to choose from in the range of toothpaste available to us. Therefore, Real Research — the online survey app, launched a survey on different types of toothpastes. The survey aims to find the most preferred toothpaste brand, popular toothpaste flavors other than mint, and the best toothpaste for bad breath. Here are the results.
