With the pandemic locking people inside for a whole year people are dying to get out in 2021 and be free. I truly enjoy a vacation and plan on doing a few this year. It is the epidemy of literally not working and letting go of stress. Well, that is the idea anyway. But sometimes stress seems to follow us and for all the wrong reasons. One reason that it should not be for is your dental hygiene. This is something that I stress for importance before we plan a vacation. I make sure that we plan ahead on how to take care of the little things that can save us from a visit to the dentist later on. So I want to go over a few things that can keep you and your family safe on vacation and some of them are really important to keeping everyone safe.
Vacation is a great time so don't take that away with random habits. I think vacations are exciting and remembering them in fun was is something that I like to do. What this means is that I like to take 10 dollars and go to the big box store near me and get travel tooth gear. It is a little silly, but we all get a new toothbrush. For traveling, I like to get ones that have a suction cup on the bottom. It makes packing so much easier and it makes it safer for our whole family. We don't want the toothbrush ever falling on a stranger's sink or falling on a floor. The counter sticking is amazing and something not to be downplayed.
Don't be lame either. Go and get exciting things. A fun toothbrush means many people are going to be excited to use them. If they are younger as well then it is even more useful. For my family, if I see Star Wars toothbrushes or lion king toothbrushes we all get a fun character. It is hard to not want to brush your teeth at a hotel or a strange B&B with a fun toothbrush. Also, make sure to get really fun toothpaste. Put sprinkles on the list or get a charcoal toothpaste that turns all your teeth back while whitening. This is a wonderful way to keep the family brushing and excited about it after an exhausting day. We all know how those days go and it is really important to have motivation in some way.
Don't just stop at brushing though. Go and get some of those incredible travel flossing items. Flossing is still important and make sure that all the food is out of your teeth is a good way to stay healthy and keep food allergies from hurting anyone's gums. I really like the travel sticks that are a toothpick and also a flossing stick.
These work double duty and keep the nasty mess of flossing string away from our trip. To be honest I use these daily and not just on vacation. Either way, some people only use them when they have to so to each their own. Now just remember to do that at the end of the day and you should be right as rain. It will help keep your teeth safe from all the new foods or excess drinks you consume on vacation. And think about your diet too. Try to stay away from too many sugary items.
