The unofficial start to summer - Memorial Day Weekend - is just around the corner! Do you have an exciting family trip planned? Whether you are traveling near or far - make sure you and your family are prepared this season with these travel tooth care tips:
Keep healthy snacks on hand. Try not to stock up on chips or candy and instead grab some portable tooth friendly options. Baby carrots, apples, string cheese, and some water are all much better options for teeth.
Pack your carry-on. Heading to the airport? Keep travel sized toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash in your carry on. This way you can easily freshen up after a long flight - your mouth will thank you!
Take a brush break. Whether you are camping, flying out of state, or taking a road trip - factor in some brush breaks whenever you can. Remembering to brush for two minutes, twice daily is essential for good oral health!
Avoid dental emergencies. Accidents can always happen, but taking simple precautions can help prevent an emergency. Avoid chomping down on anything hard, don’t open things with your teeth, and have a Dental Emergency Kit on hand (which includes: mouth guards for sporting activities, pain relievers, orthodontic wax for those with braces, cotton/gauze, and floss).
Schedule a visit with us. Make sure everything is A-OK prior to your trip by paying us a visit. This way we can make sure there’s nothing that will cause tiny teeth to have any big problems.
