Between work meetings, school drop-offs, errands, and maybe trying to squeeze in a little “me time,” oral hygiene can sometimes take a backseat. But don’t worry, we’re here to care for your smile! In honor of Dental Care Month, the team at Norfolk County Dental Care is sharing four fun, fast, and totally doable oral hygiene tips for even the busiest schedules.
1. Multitask Like a Pro: Brush While You Scroll
We know you check your phone in the morning (we do it too). Why not brush your teeth while catching up on the weather or scrolling your socials? It’s an easy way to hit that two-minute mark without watching the clock. Just remember: no skipping your back teeth!
2. Stash a Travel-Sized Toothbrush
Keep a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste in your desk drawer, bag, or car. When that surprise coffee meeting or lunch-on-the-go hits, you’ll be prepped and ready. A quick brush mid-day keeps your mouth fresh and your dentist impressed.
3. Choose Snacks That Do Double Duty
Apples, carrots, and celery are great for your health, and they also give your teeth a little scrub between meals. These crunchy snacks help remove plaque and boost saliva, which naturally protects your teeth. Now that’s what we call a win-win!
4. Floss Without the Fuss
Can’t do the whole floss routine at night? Grab some floss picks and keep them handy. You can use them during a TV binge, while waiting in the car line to pick up your kids from school, or even on your coffee break. A few seconds here and there add up to a healthier smile.
