Who’s coming over to your house this year? Relatives? Friends? Is anyone bringing their pet dog? Perhaps you have young nieces and nephews coming over. While the last thing you think about when you have visitors is your oral health care items, it might be wise to lock them up (or at least hide them away) when you’ve got houseguests!
#1: Your Toothbrush, Etc.
Unless you’re completely fine with someone accidentally using your toothbrush (you shouldn’t be!), then you may wish to put your toothbrush away. Even if it usually sits out in a cup or holder, as we suggest to let it air out, you may want to make sure it’s nice and dry and then store it in a cabinet or drawer while you have guests. The same is true for your toothpaste and floss. Your guests can then use their own products and pack them away again, without you wondering if someone mistakenly grabbed your oral health care items.
#2: Your Bruxism Treatment
You’re going to have to get into the mindset of a small child or pet for this one! To you, of course, your bruxism treatment is just an oral device that you use to treat your grinding and clenching. It’s certainly not fun or a toy! However, to little ones, this can become a very interesting item to explore, drag around, hide, and even chew on. Best to keep such things stored and out of sight, lest you feel ready to say goodbye to this essential oral health care item and hello to a visit and a replacement from our team!
