The workplace is one of the most important spheres of our daily lives. The average person spends around 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. That's around 10 full years or 3750 full days— a not insignificant amount of time.
In a previous blog post, we asked 'Does Dental Health Affect Your Career?' We found that poor dental health can be linked to a whole host of problems related to the workplace — lack of confidence, lack of career success — as well as general health issues.
Clearly, keeping your teeth healthy and bright plays a role in workplace performance. However, busy schedules means that not every employee has the time to go for regular cleaning and dental check-ups. To help with that, we've compiled a list of things that you can do to keep your teeth healthy even on a busy schedule.
Reduce Sugar and Coffee
One of the first and most important things to do is to cut down on sugar and coffee intake. According to the Oral Health Foundation, taking sugary snacks and drinks in the workplace can quickly build up, bumping our sugar intake to sometimes twice or three times the recommended daily amount.
High amounts of sugar can lead to dental caries, requiring more maintenance and attention. Additionally, the tannins in coffee can lead to tooth enamel staining. Cutting down on both these things can drastically improve your dental health, without the need for costly procedures or time-consuming check-ups.
Take Supplements
Another thing you can do for your teeth is to take supplements that can boost your teeth and bone health. Brightcore's Radiance is a supplement that can provide lots of health benefits. Spending all day inside can mean that many workers don't get the sunlight and vitamin D that they need. Radiance is the solution. Its vitamin D3 promotes calcium absorption, thus leading to healthier bones and teeth. Not only that, it also helps improve your cardiovascular health, immune system, and lung health. If you don't have the time or budget to get that daily dose of vitamin D in, this is a quick and easy solution.
Use a Teeth Whitener
If you feel like there's more you can do to improve your office outlook, you may want to take a look at a teeth whitener. Whiter, brighter teeth can do so much to bump up your confidence, allowing you to face coworkers and partners with a smile. There are tons of products and services available on the market that can do this, but only a few are able to do it well.
At Floss Bar, we make sure that you get the highest quality whitening at the best price. You don't have to worry about teeth enamel concerns or sensitivity, as we have trained hygienists that can help make the process easier and faster for you. The process itself is quick and easy, taking about as long as a regular visit to the dentist, but with results that will have you feeling happier and more confident in the workplace and beyond.
