When it comes to your smile health and vacation, we encourage you to remember that you can have a wonderful time if you consider some important tidbits before you embark on your journey. Or, you can proceed with reckless abandon and risk having the worst vacation ever! How to achieve the former? We can help.
When It Turns Bad
Not sure you understand how a vacation could turn bad simply because of your smile health? Well, consider a possibility: Maybe your tooth has been feeling sensitive, you head out on your vacation anyway, it turns out the tooth is infected, and you spend your trip at a dentist you’ve never met before to receive a root canal treatment (and then you rest and recover at your hotel). Or, you think you have a cavity, you go on your trip, then your tooth hurts throughout your vacation. You spend the whole time worrying about it instead of relaxing and enjoying yourself.
When You Realize You Messed Up
Another way you can end up having a frustrating vacation all because of a lack of preparation follows: You show up, you open your bag, and you forgot to pack the stuff you need for your smile health! No toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, bruxism appliance, or anything else. You then spend your trip using toothpaste you don’t like after having spent a ton of money on replacements for the things sitting at home on your bathroom countertop.
How To Save Your Vacations
First, always visit us before a vacation to ensure a clean bill of smile health for a stress-free experience. Next, of course, double check your suitcase before you leave (relying on a checklist will ensure you don’t miss a thing).
