Pack the Essentials – When packing for a trip, it’s important that you take all the essential items that you use on a daily basis, such as any medicines you take and oral care products you use. In order to maintain healthy and clean throughout your vacation its important that make sure to carry the necessary products to ensure that your teeth stay clean the entire time. Remember to pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, floss and you can even carry along a tongue scraper if need be. If anyone in your family wears any type of orthodontic appliances then it also might be a good idea to carry along anything that might help in case of a minor emergency such as gauze or dental wax to cover up a poking wire and don’t forget to carry a case for putting retainers in if need be.
Keep Products Clean – When traveling it’s important that you keep your oral care products clean. This means that when cleaning your oral care products it’s important to make sure that the water in the country you are visiting is safe and clean because if not, then you raise the risk of brushing your teeth with a dirty brush which can then lead to oral issues.
Watch What You Eat – As you go about traveling, especially if you’re traveling abroad, you’re probably more inclined to try and eat new things and this is when you really have to watch what you eat. Not only can eating the wrong kinds of foods hurt your teeth but it can cause health problems as well. Be careful as to what you eat and try and avoid anything you think may harm your teeth.
Remember that when traveling it’s important to make sure that you and your family stay healthy so you don’t fall ill while traveling. If you are planning on traveling abroad, make sure that you contact your doctor and dentist/orthodontist so they can give you any extra tips on traveling safe and healthy. Hope you and your family enjoy your summer vacation!
