Flight and hotel bookings? All check! With all the work-related stress that you have encountered at the office, you need to travel and unwind once in a while. Nevertheless, while you deserve a break, your oral hygiene don’t! Despite traveling, make sure that you are keeping track of your dental health.
Whether you are heading to Korea for a spicy Korean food hopping or to Hawaii for an island experience, taking a few steps to get ready for your travel is a must. Take a look at these points to keep your mouth healthy all-throughout your trip.
Before leaving, ensure the health of your mouth, teeth, and gums by setting up a Regular Checkup appointment with us at Family Dental Center. Having the oral condition checked ahead of the travel schedule will guarantee that there would be no teeth issues or complications that may get in the way for a smooth flight.
Pack up supplies of oral hygiene products and tools like toothbrush, toothpaste, and flosses. Hotels probably have these essentials for free, but in case the provided alternatives may not work for you, back-ups are ready.
Do not forget to bring dental insurance and the dentist’s contact information in case of dental emergencies.
Keep a travel-sized mouthwash on the most accessible part of your bag or purses for easy browsing every time you want to freshen up your breath in the midst of the travel.
Carry a bottle of water with you all the time to hydrate your body and the mouth as well. Dry mouth can cause bad breath. Quenching with water helps moisten and generate saliva.
Avoid snacking on chips and crackers along the way. Instead, opt for a more teeth-friendly option such as slices of apples, cheeses, or plain yogurt.
Oral Care Checklist
