We don’t suggest that you rely on your ability to remember to pack your dental hygiene items or anything else related to your oral health as you plan for a vacation. Do you know why? Well, it’s because you’re probably going to brush before you leave for your trip. This means you might accidentally leave your brush (and more) at home. It happens even to the most organized of individuals. Then, there’s anything else you might need for your smile. Perhaps you have a case for a denture or other device. Maybe you have a bruxism oral appliance. How to make sure you don’t leave something at home? Try checking items off of a well-thought-out and comprehensive smile list as you check through your suitcase right before you leave or zip it up.
The most frustrating thing about the whole “leaving your dental hygiene items at home” fiasco is that you wouldn’t run the risk of doing this if you could just pack these oral health items with everything else you pack. The education you’ve been needing: You can, if you’re willing to simply buy a second set of everything you need. Buy another toothbrush, another toothpaste tube, another container of floss. Toss them into your luggage early. Leave your primary set of products at home in your bathroom. Easy!
