Dont let your SPRING VACATION be a TOOTH DECAY-TION!
2. Dry out your brush
A brush that stays wet breeds bacteria. If you can, take your toothbrush out of its travel case as soon as you reach your destination. Standing your brush upright in a cup will allow the water to drain away from the bristles. (Just make sure it’s not kept where the maid could knock it into the toilet!) If you’re travelling by car, you might let your brush air out on the dash. Take your toothbrush out of its travel container as soon as you get home.
A collapsible toothbrush, a disposable tooth flosser or a roll of floss isn’t difficult to fit into your purse or carry-on. “Floss is very compact, so you can take it with you when you travel,”
Depending on your destination, it might be a good idea to pack extra oral care supplies. They’ll come in handy if you run out and can’t buy replacements. Some hotels will stock disposable toothbrushes at the desk. Remember that in a pinch, without paste, you can still brush with water. You’ll still be removing plaque from your teeth, as long as you brush properly.
