It's spring time so we all know what that means... SPRING BREAK
It's Spring Break season so this means vacation traveling. Even when you are not in the comfort of your own home don’t let your healthy teeth habits fall to the wayside. Having a clean mouth is important. It gives you fresh breath and a nicer-looking smile. Brushing and flossing removes a thin sticky film of bacteria that grows on your teeth. This sticky film, called plaque, is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease.
The best way to keep your teeth healthy while on the road you must keep a kit with you to make sure everything you need is on hand while under Orthodontic treatment.
Here are some of the items that need to be in your kit:
- Travel Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Mouthwash
- Threader floss
- Rubber bands
- Mini Mirror
& in case of a dental emergency
- Dental wax
- Cold pack
- Over the counter pain killers
Putting together a mini dental travel kit is the easiest way to support your healthy habits while on the road. Get a small bag that can easily fit in your carrier and fill it with all the items you need. Also, make sure you keep a Rhode Island Orthodontics Group contact card inside your kit just in case you have an emergency and need to contact our office.
Bloggers mostly discuss on how to develop good dental hygiene habits. Your post on keeping up with oral hygiene while on road is really unique. All the items which you have listed in your blog post that will be placed in your mini dental travel kit are very much essential for patients under orthodontic treatment.
