With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year\u2019s all on the horizon, you\u2019re probably making travel plans. But have you thought about how you\u2019re going to manage your dental hygiene on the road (or in the air)? It would be really unfortunate if bacteria build up resulted in a faraway experience with cavities or gum disease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could say that with great travel comes great responsibility. To ease the pressure, read up on these oral health<\/a> tips for holiday trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Visit Your Dentist Before You Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the more common causes of dental emergencies is bacteria build up. Even if you brush twice daily and floss once per day, you could still find yourself in trouble. You see, oral bacteria sometimes harden into tougher forms that your toothbrush can\u2019t scrub away. This is essentially what plaque and tartar are, and to clear it away from your mouth before the holidays, it\u2019s a good idea to get a professional cleaning from your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your appointment, your dentist will also check for early warning signs of oral conditions. That way, if something like a cavity is brewing, you can take care of it before you fly (or drive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack a Travel Case for Your Brush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where do you usually store your toothbrush when you travel? If you don\u2019t cover the brush head with some sort of case, chances are the gross bacteria in your bag are taking a trip of their own \u2013 from your toothbrush straight to your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dental travel cases can fit your toothbrush from head to handle. Others protect just the bristles and tend to be cheaper. Whichever one you prefer, don\u2019t forget to actually pack <\/em>your oral hygiene tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Wary of Your Sugar Intake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you have a normal relationship with sugar for the majority of the year. But with the holidays come delicious seasonal treats and limited time drink flavors. It\u2019s hard not to develop a sweet tooth when Thanksgiving pie and Christmas cookies are such popular traditions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar, however, accelerates bacteria growth, increasing your chances of developing cavities. You can still enjoy your favorites; just be careful to count how many gingerbread men you\u2019ve eaten before reaching for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have Happy, Health Holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, healthy teeth make for happy holidays. After all, it\u2019s a little difficult to celebrate if a toothache makes a surprise appearance. Check in with your dentist before you leave and remember to take care of your teeth and enjoy your time with friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
