But if you plan to make\na trip, either by yourself or with the family, it\u2019s crucial that you know how\nto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brushdentist.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">prevent\ndental emergencies<\/a> before you leave. After all, you don\u2019t want your time\noff to be dampened or even outright cancelled because of a toothache, broken\nenamel, or oral infection. Here are five ways you can stay proactive this\nsummer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush and Floss Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth decay and gum disease can develop when you least\nexpect it, so it\u2019s best to stay on top of regular brushing and flossing throughout\nthe day. Dentists recommend brushing at least twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste\nand flossing once a day, but it\u2019s also encouraged to practice oral hygiene\nafter meals to ensure no lingering food debris is present on or in between\nteeth. After all, this is the stuff that oral bacteria consumes to create\nplaque acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never Use Your Teeth as a Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are not indestructible, despite being made from the\nhardest substance in the human body. They can easily chip, crack, and even completely\nfall out when being used for tasks that are meant for dedicated tools. For\nexample, always use a bottle opener to open bottled beverages and never use\nteeth to open packages. Even nail biting can lead to damaged teeth, so find a\nhealthier habit to replace it when you get stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer vacation means getting outside and spending time in\nwarm weather, which means you\u2019re more likely to become dehydrated. Dehydration causes\ndry mouth, a side effect that can actually accelerate plaque production. By\nstaying hydrated, you can ensure your mouth does not become too dry and reduce\nyour risk for tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Safe While Swimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people may not realize it, but injuries at the pool are\nactually very common during the summer months. It\u2019s easy to chip or break a\ntooth on the ledge of a pool or slip and fall, leading to a severe oral injury.\nMake sure to establish clear rules if you plan on vacationing with children as\nthey are far more likely to accidentally hurt themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule Checkups Before You Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing routine exams and cleanings gives you a chance to\ncatch underlying dental problems before they have a chance to develop. For\nexample, exams give dentists a chance to confirm the current state of your enamel\nand gum tissue, while cleanings work to remove harmful tartar deposits that cause\ncavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can only confirm if no dental issues are\npresent when you schedule an appointment. Get in touch with a dentist today to\nget the process started ahead of your next vacation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Brush Dental<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brushdentist.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\">Dr.\nKuan and Dr. Lam<\/a> make preventive dentistry a priority to reduce your risk\nof experiencing a dental emergency.
