Working from home offers numerous benefits. You can usually stay in your pajamas, take the occasional stroll, and sometimes set your own hours. It’s ideal for parents and caregivers who have young children at home.
Of course, there are drawbacks to consider as well. When you work from home, you may encounter the following:
- Lack of socializing
- Relaxed oral hygiene
- Lack of exercise
- Poor nutrition choices
When you work from home, it’s easy to order in with Grubhub, DoorDash, Postmates, or other delivery services, and your choices may not always be nutritious or suitable for your teeth.
Additionally, you may find yourself snacking throughout the workday or skipping your brushing and flossing sessions.

Tips to Keep Your Smile Healthy When You Work from Home
Whether you’re an at-home accountant, bookkeeper, or social media manager, it’s essential to keep your smile clean and healthy even if no one sees it but you.
- Hydrate: It’s best to sip on water throughout the workday and skip juice and soda, which are hard on your tooth enamel.
- Shop Ahead: Use the weekend to stock your work-from-home environment with healthy snacks and lunch items.
- Delete the Delivery: Get rid of the delivery apps and eat the strawberries, low-fat yogurt, nuts, and lean proteins you purchased over the weekend.
- Vow to Brush and Floss: Treat our home work environment like an outside office. If you were going to work in an office building, you would surely brush and floss before starting your day.
- Visit Your Arlington Dentist: Remember to schedule regular checkups and teeth cleanings with your dentist every six months.
