Pro tip: Store your toothbrush in a ventilated case to keep it clean and dry.

Chewing sugar-free gum after meals can help stimulate saliva production, which naturally protects your teeth and washes away food debris.
Staying hydrated helps prevent dry mouth and reduces the risk of cavities. Drinking water also helps rinse away sugars and acids from food and drinks.
Pack snacks that are gentle on your teeth, such as:
Avoid sticky, sugary snacks that can increase your risk of cavities.
If you wear braces, aligners, or dentures, don’t forget:
Being prepared can help you avoid discomfort or disruptions during your trip.
Dental emergencies can happen anywhere. Consider packing:
If you experience severe pain or damage, seek professional care as soon as possible.
Taking a few extra steps to care for your teeth while traveling can help you avoid unnecessary dental issues and keep your smile bright all summer long.
