Travel And Oral Hygiene
06 July 2023
Traveling is a great pleasure and relaxation for everyone. For some people, it is associated with shopping, while for others, traveling is associated with staying in comfortable hotels, sightseeing and tasting delicious food. And some are just ready to go around unknown spaces with one backpack and enjoy new places and emotions. In any case, no matter where we spend our vacation, it is necessary to follow a self-care routine and maintain oral hygiene.
Why Is The Oral Cavity So Important?
It is impossible to look beautiful without having a healthy, attractive smile. The function of teeth is not limited only to facilitating the process of chewing and digesting food. A symmetrical row of teeth and a healthy oral cavity help us pronounce sounds correctly and maintain the symmetry of facial features. "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Dental Clinic" offers advice that will help you make your vacation more enjoyable, maintain a healthy, clean mouth and enjoy every moment of your trip.
Dental Floss
Don't forget to leave a little space in your travel bag for dental floss. This light, easy remedy will make taking care of your teeth much easier. Even after brushing, at least 40% of the tooth surface remains intact. Flossing helps remove food particles and other substances left in the space between the teeth that cannot be removed by brushing. Use floss, intradental brushes, or an irrigator to clean the spaces between the teeth. A periodontist can help you choose the best method for your tooth row. Flossing is recommended at least once a day. You can also use an oral irrigator to maintain oral hygiene. The main purpose of the irrigator is to create a thin stream of liquid under the influence of pressure, which cleans hard-to-reach areas of the tooth from plaque, and is especially effective during braces, implants, orthopedic crowns and veneers.
Sugar-Free Chewing Gum
When traveling, sugar-free chewing gum should be an integral part of your handbag. Chewing gum is a good way to produce saliva in the mouth, which has a protective function, balances acidity in the mouth and prevents damage to tooth enamel (caries). So, while traveling, after enjoying the masterpieces of local cuisine, chewing gum for 5 minutes will balance the acidity in your mouth.
Antibacterial Mouthwashes
Don't forget antibacterial wipes! Along with dental floss and chewing gum, antibacterial mouthwashes can help prevent bad breath. It is necessary to use it during the morning routine to remove plaque accumulated during sleep from the teeth and the entire oral cavity.
Fluoride Toothpaste
When traveling, be sure to use fluoride toothpaste every day. Fluoride makes the surface of the tooth healthy and supplies it with the necessary minerals. A body tired from walking and swimming definitely needs to be supplied with minerals.
Drink Lots Of Water
Drinking the right amount of water is directly related to the health of your teeth and mouth. Therefore, you should always find a place in your handbag for a bottle of the year. Drinking water can strengthen your tooth enamel and make it less prone to cavities
Brush Your Teeth Properly
Finally, "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" recommends that regardless of whether you are preparing for a vacation or not, you should always know that one of the simplest rules for maintaining the health of your teeth is regular oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth is the number one way of maintaining hygiene that any dentist recommends. Therefore, on the recommendation of the doctor, choose a toothbrush and toothpaste adapted to your needs and brush your teeth at least twice a day.
