Travel is exciting - go to different places, try new food, and take risks. However, if you are not prepared for dental hygiene problems that may occur during your trip, your vacation may be unpleasant.

Don't postpone dating

If you need to do a dental operation, be sure to finish it before you travel, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable and prevent you from fully enjoying your vacation. Be sure to arrange these dental appointments before you leave. You will be happy to handle this dental business before you leave.

Prepare for emergency

There is always something that can happen when you are on vacation. So if something happens, you need to call them, it is best to bring your dental insurance card and family dental contact list. If your family dentist is a member of any international affiliate association, please write down and ask your insurance provider for an urgent procedure choice in the area where you travel.

Buy toothbrush for travel

I suggest you buy a cheap toothbrush so that your good toothbrush can stay at home safely. You should also change this toothbrush after each trip because it is exposed to more bacteria than your home toothbrush. You should also invest in a toothbrush holder. It is neither hygienic nor safe to throw your toothbrush into your bag at will. Buy a bracket with a venting hole so you can have extra protection - after all, you don't want to have a lot of bacteria on it to clean your teeth.

Cleaning the toothbrush holder while traveling

When you travel, you usually place a damp toothbrush on the toothbrush holder to create an ideal environment for bacterial growth. In order to keep both items free of bacteria, you should clean them quickly and regularly.

• Rinse: Rinse the toothbrush and toothbrush holder thoroughly with hot water to remove any scum and toothpaste residue.
• Cleaning: Fill a small cup of antibacterial mouthwash, place the two toothbrush holders in the mouthwash for 30 seconds, then pull out and rinse with cold water. Do this for your toothbrush, but be sure to brush it too.
• Drying: Dry the toothbrush and toothbrush holder as much as possible. If you are going to travel the next day, put them all out and dry completely. If you don't have time to completely dry the toothbrush and toothbrush holder, make sure you have purchased a toothbrush holder with a venting hole to allow the air that is stored in the container to drain.

The next time you open your toothbrush, brush it first with hot water. These steps are taken to brush your teeth each time you travel.

Take backup

If your situation is that you can't brush your teeth, but you need to pick up a pack of sugar-free chewing gum. It is best to buy a chewing gum containing xylitol, a non-fermented sugar alcohol that has more dental health benefits than other alternatives. This will at least restore the freshness of your breath, so that you will not scare others away, but also feel a little clean and fresh.

Use these tips to avoid any dental problems you may encounter while traveling, and you will be thankful for it!
