Patients say they trust both their dental hygienist and the hygienists' product recommendations, according to a survey commissioned by Sunstar Americas and conducted by Mintel International Group.
The survey was conducted online in March 2007 and included 1,957 people across the U.S., according to Sunstar.
Of those surveyed, 81% said they trust the product recommendations of their dental hygienist. The survey also found that women are more likely to visit their dental hygienist than men (47% versus 39%), and that 69% of those women are more likely to shop for oral care products for themselves and the entire household.
