Vacations are a time to relax and enjoy yourself—but your oral care routine should still come along for the trip!
Don't Let Your Smile Take a Vacation
Bacteria Does not Take Breaks – Even a few days of poor brushing or skipped flossing can lead to plaque buildup and
inflammation.
Vacation Treats Add Up – Sugary drinks, desserts, and frequent snacking increase acid exposure, which can weaken
enamel.
Travel Can Disrupt Routines – Long flights, busy schedules, and jet lag make it easy to forget to brush or floss.
Pro Tips for Vacation-Ready Oral Care:
Pack a travel-sized toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash.
Stick to brushing twice a day and flossing once a day—even on travel days.
Drink water regularly to rinse sugars and acids from your mouth.
Chew sugar-free gum if brushing isn’t possible right away.
A healthy smile is the best souvenir!
Keep up with your dental routine and come back from vacation feeling refreshed and cavity-free.
Schedule your cleaning and checkup before you go to ensure any problems are identified and treated before you go. Paula will make
sure you have the tools you need.
In addition, Paula Recommends using a MI Paste between your visits to help decrease acid erosion, sensitivity, and dry mouth. The following is a great example of how MI paste helps to remineralize by delivering calcium and
phosphate directly to the tooth enamel.
