Too busy to see a dentist, say Brits
Brits are so busy with their jobs that looking after their appearance and health is getting left at the bottom of their to-do list, it has been revealed.
According to research by American Express Insurance Services, 31 per cent of people do not have enough time in their day to get their hair cut and 26 per cent claim they are too busy to arrange an appointment with their general or cosmetic dentist.
These necessities are more likely to be neglected by women, it appears, as 37 per cent are sacrificing personal grooming after a day at work, compared to just 25 per cent of men.
Commenting on the study, head of the firm Chris Rolland stated: "We recognise that for many hard-working Britons there are simply not enough hours in the day.
"However, our research shows many Brits are letting their health, relationships and finances suffer as a result."
A study by Dentale found that a third of Brits have not been to visit a dentist in two years.
