Did you know recent studies show that women maintain better oral health than men? The research was conducted to find the differences between the oral health practices in the sexes so dentists could spot weak points that need to be improved for every patient. The information was generated after a questioning 800 men and women and having them undergo oral health exams pertaining to the maintenance of healthy gums and periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Results proved that women were more likely to schedule and keep their dental appointments twice a year as well as alter their dental hygiene habits depending on the results compared to men.
