Caring For Your Teeth On The Go

premier • Feb 20, 2020

Are you a frequent traveler for business or personal reasons? If so, you know how difficult it is to fit toiletry items in your suitcase. You have to double-check that your items are the right size to fight through security. On top of that, you have to pack everything just right, so nothing explodes due to high altitudes. Caring for your teeth is essential, even while traveling. We recognize the difficulty it may bring, which is why we create these three tips to help you! Here are three simple ways to care for your teeth on the go.

Essentials

Regardless of where you are in the world, it is recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice daily. Consistently cleaning your teeth is the best way to keep a healthy mouth. Choose a small toiletry bag to fit your toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and mouth wash in. You will not fit everything into a travel bag if they are all full size. Often, people opt for travel-sized options to ensure everything fits. Plus, travel-sized options will make it through security just fine. Your toothbrush is not required to be travel-sized. If you bring floss, mouthwash, and especially toothpaste, make sure it’s small.

Accessibility

So how do you do this while traveling? Easy. Make sure everything is accessible. If your items are under the specific ounces rule, you can keep your things in your carry on. That way, you can brush your teeth regardless of where you are. If you don’t feel the need to carry around mouthwash, you can always keep floss on hand. Throw it in your carry on bag or purse for easy access. Flossing is the best way to keep food from staying stuck between teeth. It also helps keep your breath fresh and teeth clean until you can get to your toothbrush.

Dentist Visits

Wherever you are located or end up, make sure to visit your dentist at least once a year. If you know you are going to travel for a long time, check-in with your dentist before. This way, you’ll know how healthy your teeth are and how to care for them on the go. Regular check-ups help prevent issues from going on too long and preparing you for your plans ahead.
