Keep Your Teeth Healthy on the Road

Whether you are leaving your home for a weekend trip or go on vacation, you want to properly pack for your dental care. 



Even when you are not in the comfort of your own home don’t let your healthy teeth habits don’t fall to the wayside. Having a clean mouth is important. It gives you fresh breath and a nicer-looking smile. Brushing and flossing removes a thin sticky film of bacteria that grows on your teeth. This sticky film, called plaque, is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease.

You can find pre-packaged kits for purchases at your local drugstores or even online. However, while under Orthodontic treatment you want to make sure your kit fits your needs.

Here are some of the items that need to be in your kit:

  • Travel Toothbrush
  • Toothpaste 
  • Mouthwash
  • Threader floss
  • Rubber bands
  • Mini Mirror

& in case of a dental emergency 

  • Dental wax
  • Cold pack
  • Over the counter pain killers



Putting together a mini dental travel kit is the easiest way to support your healthy habits while on the road. Get a small bag that can easily fit in your carrier and fill it with all the items you need. Also, make sure you keep a Wentz Orthodontics contact card inside your kit just in case you have an emergency and need to contact our office.
