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. 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 ToothbrushToothpaste
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. Also, your kit will make sure you have your emergency items for your braces on hand. 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 contact card with Dr. Bailey's information inside your kit just in case you have an emergency and need to contact our office.
