The end of the year creates many opportunities for families to travel. You might be visiting relatives for Thanksgiving, or Christmas. You could also take advantage of the kids’ break from school to take a quick vacation just for fun. While travel lets us escape many routine responsibilities, one thing you should continue to do is take care of your teeth. Travel, particularly road trips, can interfere with your routine, and put you at more risk for smile troubles. If you make a point to keep up with brushing and flossing while you are on the move, you are less likely to develop problems with your teeth. That means your Bellaire, TX dentist is less likely to warn you about trouble during your next routine dental exam!
Making Time To Brush And Floss While Traveling
Fortunately, the materials you need to clean your teeth are easy to transport. You can make sure your teeth are in good condition by continuing to brush and floss like you would at home. If you are flying, and forget something like toothpaste or floss, make a point to pick up more as soon as possible, so that you can keep taking care of your teeth.
Paying Attention To Your Diet
Your diet contributes in a big way to your risk for cavities. While you may be good about eating healthy meals at home, travel – particularly on the holidays – can lead to a relaxed approach to what your family enjoys. While traveling, drink water, and resist the urge to load up on sticky, sugary snacks. When you enjoy meals while traveling, work in healthy options with the occasional indulgence.
