Romanians who live in the countryside change their toothbrushes once every 10 years, compared to two years in urban areas. Tooth paste consumption is also worrisome in rural areas: one tube every three years in rural areas, compared to 1.3 tubes in urban areas, according to Digi24.

Eight in ten Romanians have dental problems, which appear at early ages: seven out of 10 children up to 13 have cavities on their temporary teeth. Cavities then appear on their permanent teeth, and statistics show 90% of them stay untreated.
