Suggestions: Dental Implants And Vacation

Vacationing when you have dental implants is not a big deal, so don’t immediately worry that you’re in for a complicated journey! However, much like traveling in general means you need to do some prep work ahead of time to ensure you have everything you need, the same is true if you have implants in place of missing teeth in your smile. Let’s talk about the things you can do to make sure your business trip, vacation, etc., is a fun one free of worries about your grin.

Don’t Give Into Temptation

Maybe you usually avoid foods you are fairly certain can damage your dental crown, that place too much pressure on your dental implants, or that tend to get stuck just about everywhere in your mouth. However, on vacation, it’s easy to throw caution to the wind and just enjoy yourself! We get it! Remember, though, that if you’re trying to keep implants safe, it’s often best to maintain your usual rules for your smile (which, in this case, are the most minor details and well worth it!).

Schedule Care Before, Not After

If there’s something telling you that you might need to see us about your dental implant, then it’s best to schedule your care before your trip rather than after. Once you’re out of town, we cannot help you! However, if you need something, treating you before you leave means a stress-free vacation.

Bring Everything With You

Don’t forget how important it is to bring the things you use on a daily basis with you when you travel. Using bruxism treatment to protect your smile? Bring it! You’ll comfortably and effectively keep your smile and dental implants safe when you plan ahead.

Maintain Usual Habits

Yes, the idea of forgetting your responsibilities and simply enjoying every second sounds amazing. However, you’ll still need to brush and floss. You should still avoid chewing ice cubes as a snack and trying to bite into things that aren’t going to break. Otherwise, you place your dental implants (and everything else) at risk!
