No, not all Pakistanis brush their teeth.
While approximately 36% of the Pakistani population reports brushing their teeth daily, a significant portion either brushes less frequently or not at all. This highlights a varying level of oral hygiene practices across the country.
Oral Hygiene Practices in Pakistan:
- Daily Brushing: Around 36% of Pakistanis clean their teeth daily, regardless of the method used.
- Infrequent Brushing: A considerable 54% brush their teeth on alternate days, weekly, or monthly.
- No Brushing: Sadly, approximately 8% of the population, which equates to a substantial number given Pakistan's population of over 120 million at the time of the reference, never clean their teeth.
The referenced data suggests a need for increased awareness and promotion of good oral hygiene practices within Pakistan. Factors such as access to dental care, education about oral health, and cultural habits likely contribute to the varied brushing habits.
