What the experts say about oral health
MANILA, Philippines - One of the global problems affecting millions of people, especially the underprivileged and uneducated, is poor oral health.
In the Philippines alone, statistics show that 97.1 percent of six-year-old Filipino children suffer from dental decay. An estimated 77 percent of the population has never been to a dentist. These are alarming figures researched by Dr. Bella Monse and Dr. Susan Yanga-Mabunga of the National Oral Health Survey.
As they say, it’s simply going and remembering to go back to the basics — brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and having regular dental checkups are the key factors in maintaining a healthy mouth and avoiding dental problems. If you have to maintain good oral health and hygiene, you have to choose your toothpaste carefully.
We are advised to check the fluoride content of the toothpaste that we use. Hapee and its line of oral care products contain the maximum amount of fluoride recommended for your teeth and gums. This way, Hapee works effectively to fight plaque and cavities. In addition, Hapee bears the PDA (Philippine Dental Association) seal of approval, which means that adequate evidence of quality, safety, and efficacy have been demonstrated in clinical trials.
