Care for Your Career Like You Care for Your Teeth
You can't escape the chair!
 No one wakes up one morning and decides that they hatetheir job. It might appear that way, but the reality is thatthere have been warning signs and build up for quite sometime. The same goes for oral health problems. A Gallup-Healthways poll from earlier this year indicated that oneout of every three Americans did not visit a dentist lastyear. Whether it's fear, laziness or money holding you back, a visit to the dentist's chair is inevitable, so whydelay?Caring for your career is a lot like caring for your teeth; when problems arise, they can besevere. There's also a good chance that they could have been prevented. Here's your oral carework maintenance tool kit.
Regular Checkups.
If you wait for a problem to emerge, it might already be too late torepair it. Self-evaluate your situation at work on a regular basis. Don't be overly reactive, but beaware of problems before they arise. Take measures to diffuse stressful situations. An annualvisit to the dentist is guaranteed to pay dividends down the road, helping you escape painful andexpensive experiences. Regular career checkups can help avoid a major work meltdown.

Fester.
No matter how bad things seem, they could be worse. Don't throw in the towel andgive up. As you get older, the number of oral health issues you're faced with increasesexponentially. You can never give in and say, 'just yank 'em all!' It is important to take steps toalleviate your suffering - whether it is in your mouth or at your job - as quickly as possible. Noone likes a quitter. Help yourself today. You have more power than you realize.

If you are thinking of getting braces, or making a career change,don't weigh the options for too long. Collect the necessary data and make a decision as quicklyas possible.
Chew on One Side.
We've all been there. There's a toothache on one side of our mouth,and we begin to shift all of our chewing to the other side. All of the extra activity will eventuallywear down that side too. Before you know it, there’s nowhere left to chew! Often, if there's a
