1. 10 Tips for Dental Health In These Summer
Holidays
With the summer holidays fast approaching, many of us will be thinking about
treating ourselves to a well-deserved luxury break. But whether it's Pune or
Mumbai, there's nothing worse than having a relaxing getaway interrupted by a
sudden bout of illness. It is important that we know the potential risks to our dental
health during this time so that something as easily preventative as a toothache
doesn't ruin our holiday celebrations.

With the summer holidays fast approaching, many of us will be thinking about
treating ourselves to a well-deserved luxury break. But whether it's Pune or
Mumbai, there's nothing worse than having a relaxing getaway interrupted by a
sudden bout of illness. It is important that we know the potential risks to our dental
health during this time so that something as easily preventative as a toothache
doesn't ruin our holiday celebrations.
So, here are a few tips to get us through the holidays...

2. 1. The dental check-up
First things first, before you set off on your summer holiday, make sure you take a
flying trip to your dentist. Although a visit to the dentist may not be at the
forefront of your mind when preparing to go on holiday, it should be a part of
everyone's pre-holiday preparations, either as a precaution or to eliminate
potential long-term damage to your dental health. But if you really can't do it
before - do it immediately after. A scale and polish might be a good thing after
giving your teeth a hard time.

3. 2. Don't forget your toothbrush
This should go without saying but during the packing process, which can get
especially manic, it's surprising what can get left behind - even something as
valuable in your daily routine as your toothbrush! It's also a good idea to take a
spare toothbrush, just in case you have a mishap with your regular one.

4. 3. Water is the drink of choice
The importance of water during a hot summer holiday is vital for our overall
health but it also provides a vital role for our oral health too. We should avoid
regularly consumption of drinks with high sugar and acidic content such as sports
drinks or fruit juices which increase the chance of dental decay and enamel
erosion. A word of caution on drinking tap water abroad though, to reduce the
risk of picking up a tummy bug, bottled water is probably the better option.

5. 4. Limit your sugary foods
Our summer holidays are usually the time where we eat more excessively than
usually, which more often than not, makes for a high-in-sugar diet. During the
holidays we are more likely to "graze" but we must remember to keep this to a
minimum. It is better for our teeth and general health to stick to three meals a-
day instead of having seven to ten of these "snack-attacks", which can cause
dental decay and erosion, the loss of tooth enamel, which if worn away the
dentine underneath is exposed and your teeth can look discoloured and become
sensitive.

6. 5. Protect your lips
While basking in the sun, many of us will sensibly apply suntan lotion to protect
ourselves against the sun's rays, in a bid to help prevent such diseases as skin
cancer but what many people fail to realise is the importance of protecting our
lips. With the skin on our lips being thin and particularly vulnerable due to the lack
of melanin, shielding our lips from the sun on holiday is essential as prolonged
exposure could lead to forms of oral cancer.

7. 6. Pack your dental first aid kit
This is a crucial piece of equipment to take on holiday. Often small and
inexpensive, there are many dental first aid kits in the market and the majority of
them contain everything you would need in a dental emergency. No matter how
careful we are, accidents do happen so make sure you are prepared for any
eventuality.

8. 7. Regulate your alcohol consumption
It's easy to get carried away, but there a certain holiday luxuries that you should
be particularly careful of - and one of these is alcohol. Regular consumption of
sweet cocktails and fizzy alcoholic drinks can result in tooth decay...not exactly the
holiday souvenir you were hoping for. And with alcohol being a leading cause of
oral cancer we must make sure that we drink responsibly.

9. 8. Take your spare dentures
This may come as a surprise but many sets of dentures are lost by their owners on
holiday so taking a spare pair is always a good idea. Most dentures on holiday are
lost through a being sick, following a bout of seasickness or food poisoning for
example, with the owner not realising that their dentures have slipped out, more
often than not either overboard.

10. 9. Beware of sporting injuries
Oral sporting injuries are a common occurrence, and especially prevalent during
the holiday period. Lost or cracked teeth when diving into swimming pools is a
common one, as is the impact of a ball or bat to the mouth. Accidents happen and
unfortunately there's not much you can to do prevent them but simply being
aware of the potential dangers will perhaps make you think twice when taking
part in activities.

11. 10. Know the support available
And finally, you may be far away from your regular dentist but there is still
professional support available to you in an emergency.
