The holidays are just around the corner, and if you\u2019re like an estimated 100+ million Americans, you may be planning to travel this winter. Whether you\u2019re heading home to visit with family and friends or escaping your usual routine to explore abroad, it\u2019s crucial to care for your teeth to prevent potential problems<\/a>. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want to interrupt your seasonal celebrations with a dental emergency!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn about 3 tips that can help you keep your teeth and gums happy and healthy no matter how far away you roam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Pack the Right Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re taking a plane, train, or automobile, you\u2019ll need to have the right supplies to clean your teeth and gums to avoid developing cavities or gum disease while you\u2019re away from home. If you don\u2019t already have one, you might want to purchase a travel-sized toothbrush, floss or flossers, and a small tube of toothpaste that are designed to fit easily into your luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If possible, you might keep your toiletries in your carry-on so that if you want to freshen your breath after enjoying some mid-flight peanuts or get a piece of food stuck in your teeth, you have what you need to keep your smile clean.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Maintain Your Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might not be too difficult to remember to brush and floss twice daily when you\u2019re in familiar surroundings and living your daily life in your own home. But when you\u2019re a guest in someone\u2019s home or staying in a hotel, it can be harder to maintain your regular healthy habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to help ensure that you continue to brush and floss over the holidays is to try to maintain the same schedule you do at home. For instance, if you usually brush and floss early in the morning before work, completing your routine at the same time when you\u2019re on your break ensures that you won\u2019t forget to clean them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Get a Checkup Before You Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another simple but effective way to safeguard your smile this holiday season is to schedule a routine checkup and cleaning with your dentist before leaving town. This allows them to identify and treat any areas of concern, like thinning enamel or swollen gums, that might otherwise become problematic while you\u2019re away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but if you have dental insurance, your policy is likely to reset at the beginning of the coming new year. Using your benefits now can help you make the most of the plan you\u2019ve already paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking a few simple precautions and visiting your provider, you can enjoy peace of mind and make the most of your travels knowing you\u2019ve taken steps to care for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
