Work From Home? Stop Rushing the Teeth Brushing!

Quick Summary

Working from home removes the morning rush, and with it the reason to brush quickly. Skipping or shortening your morning brushing is a habit that can lead to gum disease and cavities faster than you would like. Brush at least twice daily for at least two minutes, and floss to prevent tartar buildup. A timer or an app helps if the routine has slipped.

Working from home lets you relax in a lot of ways. You can sleep in a little more. You don’t have to rush to work. You don’t have to stress in traffic. You don’t have to worry about whether you look perfect. You have more time to work out in the morning and sit with your kiddos from breakfast. You can rush your morning teeth brushing.

Wait – that last one isn’t true! It might be easy to brush your teeth faster in the morning or skip your morning brushing altogether. No one can smell your breath in that video call, after all! But this is a habit that can lead to gum disease and cavities faster than you’d like.

Save yourself the time and money and spend it on what matters to you. Brush at least twice daily for at least two minutes, and floss to prevent tartar buildup.
