Spring break is all about fun and relaxation, but nothing ruins a vacation faster than painful surprises. By planning ahead, you can reduce the risk of unexpected dental issues and enjoy your time off without worry. 

Pack a Travel Dental Kit

Before you set off on your adventure, pack a small dental kit with pain relievers, temporary filling material, dental wax, and a travel-sized mouth rinse. These essentials can help you manage minor discomforts until you can get professional care. 

Be Prepared for Accidents

Accidents happen when you least expect them. If you lose a tooth, store it in milk or in a tooth preservation kit to keep it from drying out. In case of a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold pack to reduce swelling. Quick action is crucial. 

Book a Pre-Travel Dental Exam

Visiting your dentist before heading out is a smart way to avoid potential dental issues. A checkup can catch potential issues like cavities or loose fillings, reducing the chance of painful surprises during your vacation.
