March 2018: Maintaining Your Oral Health – Even on the Go!

Have recent travels taken a toll on your oral hygiene? When warmer weather beckons you from your home, you don’t have to leave behind a great dental routine!

Here’s how to keep your smile healthy no matter where life takes you:

• Have a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpasteon hand for dental care that’s easy to carry around
• Use tiny interdental cleaners that can brush as well as floss, saving both time and space
• Chew on gum containing xylitol after meals to help combat plaque and oral bacteria
• Gargle with mouthwash or water to wash food particles away if you’re unable to brush and floss

While these pointers can help maintain your dental regimen, there is no substitute for the benefits of a regular visit to our dentist in Columbia, SC.
