We spend 82 days of our lives brushing our teeth

In aid of World Oral Health Day today the UK’s leading dental charity, the Oral Health Foundation, have looked at just how long we spend brushing our teeth during our lives with some amazing findings.

The charity has discovered that, with the UK’s average life expectancy currently standing at 81.5 years, if a person brushes their teeth for two minutes twice a day over the course of their life it would equate to 118,990 minutes – the equivalent of 1,983.16 hours or slightly more than 82 days.
