Whether you\u2019re\nplanning on traveling abroad for an adventurous trip or thinking of staying\nlocal for some much-needed R&amp;R, the last thing you want is a toothache, loose\ndental crown, or another tooth-related injury to ruin your fun. With this in\nmind, keep reading to learn four tips to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littletondentalstudio.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental\nemergencies<\/a> this summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Schedule\nYour Bi-Yearly Dental Appointment Beforehand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Between packing your suitcase, booking hotel reservations,\nand everything else that needs to get done before your vacation, you may feel\nlike you have a seemingly endless list of to-dos. However, don\u2019t forget to add\nvisiting your dentist to that list! Scheduling your six-month checkup before\nyour trip will ensure any dental problems, like a cavity, don\u2019t get in the way\nof your fun in the sun. Plus, a thorough cleaning will remove stubborn surface\nstains, leaving you with a bright, beautiful smile for your vacation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Stick\nMostly to Mouth-Healthy Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacation is all about relaxing, getting away from the hustle\nand bustle of everyday life, and enjoying all the city has to offer. As a\nresult, you may be tempted to fill your days with blended coffees, local\ncandies, and late-night ice cream runs. Unfortunately, sugary, sticky, and\ncrunchy foods can do serious damage to your teeth and gums. Therefore, it\u2019s a\ngood idea to fill up on mouth-healthy foods too, like fresh fruits and cooked\nveggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Practice\nGood Oral Hygiene <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your schedule will be more relaxed on vacation,\nyour oral hygiene regimen shouldn\u2019t. Neglecting to brush twice a day, floss\ndaily, and rinse with mouthwash regularly will lead to dental problems, like\ntooth decay. In short, your summer activities will result in potentially\npainful fall cavities. So, don\u2019t skip your dental care regimen while on\nvacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Pack an\nEmergency Dental Kit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dental emergencies aren\u2019t entirely preventable, there\nis a way to make them much less anxiety-inducing: preparation. With this in\nmind, make sure to pack a bag with floss, pain-relief medication, Orajel, and\nother staples in case a tooth-related injury arises. You should also pack your\ndentist\u2019s office number and research a few local dentists if you are away from\nhome. That way, you can get the treatment you need and get back to enjoying\nyour summer vacation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nAuthor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littletondentalstudio.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Cale\nBeasley<\/a>\u2019s father was a dentist, it wasn\u2019t until he worked as a dental\nassistant that he truly realized his love for the field of dentistry!
