The benefits of packing a dental kit

Unless you have the luxury of staying at your house all day long, (in which case, get out of your house every once and a while – experience sunshine!), you probably don’t have access to your toothbrush and toothpaste all of the time. Consider packing a “dental kit” to put in your desk drawer or keep it in your purse. Your kit should contain the essentials, tooth brush, toothpaste and some floss.

Why?

If you are a regular coffee drinker, gum chewer or afternoon sweet-snacker, your teeth are being exposed to all sorts of things that would love nothing more than to set up shop in between your teeth and gums which could lead to plaque and gingivitis. Brush it away with your desk tooth brush and toothpaste!

Have you ever eaten something at work and it felt like you had something stuck between your teeth ALL DAY? Desk floss to the rescue.

Consider packing a desk dental kit, you’re teeth and gums will thank you for it!


Note: It’s not good to brush your teeth after EVERY meal as it wears down the enamel of the teeth. A dental kit should be used in the case of minor dental emergencies.
