Should I brush at work?
Definitely, but most Americans don't brush during the workday. Yet a recent survey by Oral-B Labor-atories and Academy of general Dentistry shows if you keep a toothbrush at work, the chances you will brush during the day increases by 65 percent. Dentists recommend keeping a toothbrush at work. Getting the debris off teeth right away stops sugary snacks from turning to damaging acids, and catches starchey foods like potato chips before they turn to cavity-causing sugar. If you brush with flouride toothpaste in the morning and before going to bed, you don't even need to use toothpaste at work. You can just brush and rinse before heading back to the desk. If you you don't have a toothbrush, rinsing your mouth with water for 30 seconds afterlunch also helps.
