Prioritizing your Oral Health On Vacation

Plastic containers, toothbrush and makeup brush. Travel set on a white background. Flat layThis past year and a half have been a stressful time for many as the Coronavirus pandemic has trudged on. Fortunately, social distancing, use of masks, and the development and administration of vaccines have finally led to the state – and the country – reopening its doors. With that in mind, many families are preparing for vacations and taking a breather for the first time in a while. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist provides some important information about keeping your grin happy and healthy while enjoying the summer sun on vacation.

Don’t Let it Take a Backseat

It goes without saying that your oral health is of the utmost importance. After all, many severe conditions can be directly linked to even bigger health concerns, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, complications with surgery and medications, and more. This means that even though you are taking a break from life, your smile should not be an afterthought.

Whether your trip is only a few days or as long as a few weeks, it only takes falling short in your preventive care one time to lead your grin down a dangerous path. Because of this, you will want to take care to protect your smile to the best of your ability. Reach out to our team today to learn more about the importance of oral health care.

Schedule an Appointment Before You Leave

Whether you are aware of it or not, your preventive care routine contributes significantly to your smile’s protective strength. Indeed, a well-rounded routine consists of brushing and flossing at home, paying mind to the negative effects of certain foods and beverages you consume, and of course, attending your routine six-month checkup.

Prior to leaving for your trip, you may want to consider scheduling a general checkup. Indeed, protecting your smile ahead of time can save your smile from the dangers of oral bacteria. What’s more?

Transportation with Care

Nothing is more of a nuisance than searching your luggage at your hotel just to discover you have forgotten your toothbrush. While the next best step is to locate your nearest drugstore to purchase a temporary one, there is no guarantee that one will be nearby.

To address this concern, you can always use either a wash cloth or your finger to spread the toothpaste around your teeth.
