T
he corporate world
surrounds you either with
an upcoming project deadline
or a sudden last minute change
in your presentation. These
unexpected situations bring
along with them the most
unwelcomed stress element.
You are either required to wait
back long hours working on
your project completion or you
are working towards attaining
your future work goals. Stressful
life events like these tend to
generate cravings for comfort
food binging. Positioning
yourself before your laptops
with a greasy cheeseburger may
seem like the easiest elucidation
for all your corporate woes.
Halfway through the creamy
burger, is when guilt usually sets
in. Your faulty corporate eating
habits have done nothing good
to eliminate stress levels, but
have made ways to degrade
your oral hygiene. Nothing
seems to stop you from hogging
while at work, and soon you
know that you have fallen prey
to an eating disorder.
Your dietary habits have a
major role to play in defencing
your dental care. The most
common advice you get to
hear to safeguard your dental
condition is to curb the intake
of sugary treats that may cause
a cavity built-up in your tooth.
Sugar and acid work hand-in-
hand in damaging your oral
care. Unseen microbes called
bacteria thrive in your mouth at
all times. These harmful germs
have the ability to form a sultry
material called plaque that
lies on the tooth surface. The
moment there is sugar intake,
the microbes in the plaque bolt
up the sugary stuff and convert
them into acids. These faulty
acids have a great potent to
melt the hard enamel covering
your teeth. And with this, starts
the process of cavity build-up.
While at work, the constant
chewing of gums to nibble on
those lubricious treats almost
throughout the day can be a
major entry to the invading
bacteria. By curbing your sugar
intake, the bacteria won’t be
able to produce enough acidic
substances that eat away
the enamel.
STAY WARNED!
Before your corporate eating
habits take a toll on your
pearly whites, it’s important
to make a note of the various
dental effects caused by
overeating while at work.
