Of course, when you’re planning on some fun travel plans, one of the most important things is to remember the essentials. Nobody enjoys getting where they’re going without the things they need. While this is complicated no matter what, when you’re planning on air travel, airline restrictions and more can mean you really need to do your best to pack everything, to remember your tickets, and to streamline the details. Since you’ve already got a lot to remember, it can be very easy to accidentally overlook your oral health! Take a moment to consider some suggestions from our Auburn Hills, MI practice and you can be sure you’ll be traveling smile ready!
#1: Make A List, Check It Thrice!
You’re really, really going to want to make a list when you travel. This is especially true by air because you can’t just quickly turn off the highway, stop at a drugstore, and keep on going. So, remember to ask yourself what you need in the way of your oral health and then write it down. Check it. Check it again as you pack. Then, before you leave, check it one more time: There’s always the chance that you’ve left something next to the sink in the bathroom!
#2: Don’t Bring Your Luxury Brush If You Lose Things
You may have spoken with us about electric toothbrushes during a checkup and cleaning and, as a result, decided to transition from a manual brush to this motored model. While we absolutely applaud your decision to take your oral health seriously and while it’s wonderful to bring your beloved dental hygiene items with you when you travel, a quick reminder: If you happen to be a bit forgetful (as in, you almost always leave something behind when you go on vacation), this may be a good time to leave your pricier stuff at home. Instead, our team suggests you gather up a travel set of items like a manual toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss, so that you don’t end up extremely upset (and in need of expensive replacements) if you have an absent-minded moment.
