Can Working From Home Lead to Tooth Decay?

If you work from home, you likely have a routine you stick to. Maybe you wake up, get a quick exercise and shower in, throw on some clothes, put the coffee on, and get to it. If you’ve cut back on your morning routine, make sure you aren’t cutting back on the time it takes for your morning tooth brushing – or cutting back on it altogether.

When you don’t have to be around people in the office, it doesn’t take long to stop brushing in the morning. They can’t see your teeth or smell your breath, right? Actually, that’s a good recipe for tooth decay and other dental problems. And it can happen faster than you think.

Save yourself the time, money, and pain. Make sure you brush thoroughly at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. You may find an app or electronic toothbrush helpful for the timing aspect. Floss daily, too, and come into Houston Uptown Dentists for your next checkup. We’ll look for even the smallest signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and more. We’ll also clean all the bad bacteria from your teeth so they shine.
