Ever since the pandemic shuttered many office buildings and in-person businesses, organizations pivoted and embraced remote work. Without a tether to an exact location, remote workers enjoy greater flexibility, and a better work-life balance, than ever before.

Additionally, even in the absence of teeth, there are important ways to support overall oral hygiene.
