March Break is a time for relaxation, travel, and fun with family and friends. Whether you’re heading somewhere warm, hitting the slopes, or enjoying a staycation, it’s important to keep your dental health in check. With all the excitement and change in routine, oral care can sometimes take a backseat. Here are some simple tips to keep your smile bright and healthy over the break!
Pack Your Dental Essentials
If you’re traveling, don’t forget to bring along your dental care essentials:
-
Toothbrush (a travel-sized one is great for on-the-go!)
-
Fluoride toothpaste
-
Floss or floss picks
-
Mouthwash (optional but helpful for freshness)
-
A case for your toothbrush to keep it clean
Having these packed ensures you maintain your routine no matter where you go!
Snack Smart
March Break often includes treats and indulgences, but be mindful of sugary snacks and drinks. Opt for teeth-friendly alternatives like:
-
Crunchy fruits and veggies (apples, carrots, celery)
-
Cheese and yogurt, which help strengthen enamel
-
Nuts, which contain essential minerals for your teeth
-
Plenty of water to rinse away bacteria and keep your mouth hydrated
If you do indulge in sweets, try to brush afterward or at least rinse your mouth with water.
Stick to Your Routine
With a more relaxed schedule, it’s easy to forget to brush and floss. Try to stick to your usual morning and night routine:
-
Brush for two minutes, twice a day
-
Floss at least once daily
-
Use fluoride toothpaste to keep cavities at bay
A consistent routine will keep your teeth and gums healthy, even during the break.
Schedule a March break check up
