Don't forget your Dental Health Essentials this Spring Break!

When it comes to oral health, consistency is key, whether you're at home or traveling. Taking care of oral hygiene while traveling is important for keeping a host of issues at bay, such as tooth decay, bad breath, and gingivitis. To maintain good oral health on the go, it's essential to pack not just the basics like a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss, but also items like wax if you have braces.

If you find yourself without your oral health essentials, most stores or hotel front desks offer supplies to hold you over during your travel. If you can’t find anything readily available, rinsing your mouth frequently with water can help to loosen food particles. If you forgot your toothpaste, brushing with just water can also suffice until you can get your hands on proper oral care products. 

If you are flying, bring your toothbrush in your carry-on bag,  so you’ll be sure to have all of your necessities when needed. Remember, a healthy smile knows no boundaries, so keep up with your oral health wherever your adventures take you!
