Look both ways before you cross the street Always hold an adult's hand Brush your teeth after every meal These were all good pieces of advice when you were a kid. Well guess what? You should always look both ways, it is nice to hold someone's hand and you should still brush your teeth after every meal! Make a habit out of keeping a tooth brush at your workplace, and take a moment to clean your teeth after lunch - your email can wait. Keep your workplace tooth brush well covered, dry it after each use and change it more frequently than your home brush (due to germs). Brushing your teeth will help protect them from decay, refresh you, and get rid of the garlic taste from that pasta you ate. Your mouth will appreciate it and so will your coworkers. Brushing is a part of a larger oral care program that involves regular dental visits.
