Dental Tips & Advice 

At Victoria Road Dental Care we believe that a preventative approach to oral hygiene is the best option. We have put together a few tips for you to make sure you are doing your best to keep your smile healthy.

Six Top Dental Tips For Holidays

 

1. Dental Check Up

Make sure that you have recently had a check-up before you jet off on holiday. Better to spot any problems than having to deal with them whilst you are away.

 

2. Don't Forget Your Toothbrush!

Depending on where you are going it may be difficult to pick one up if you forget yours. Either way, you don't want it to be your first job on arrival.

 

3. Make Water Your Number One

Water will keep you hydrated which is important for saliva production, it will rinse food particles and debris from your mouth, and it is a much better alternative to sugary drinks or alcohol.

 

4. Limit Your Snacking

Chances are that you will eat more on holiday and 'graze' throughout the day. Sticking to three meals a day will limit the time that your teeth are under attack. This includes sugary and alcoholic drinks.

 

5. Protect Your Lips

Make sure that you regularly apply sunscreen to you lips. Prolonged exposure without protection could lead to oral cancer.

 

6. Take A Spare Pair

If you wear dentures, don't forget to pack a spare pair. Believe it or not, it is quite common to lose dentures on holiday. More often than not this is caused through bouts of sickness and dentures disappearing down toilets!!

 

And....

Make sure that you have a valid Eurpoean Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

Always have your own valid travel insurance. Policies vary greatly, so check your cover and excess details before you travel. Keep receipts for any claims you need to make.

 

Consider our Maintenance Plan at just £17.46 per month, included in the plan is emergency dental treatment both at home and abroad 24 hours a day. A 10% discount on treatments, 2 check-ups a year, 2 teeth cleaning's a year, plus Visual Oral Cancer Screenings.

Ask reception for more details.

    Not everyone likes going to the dentist and that includes me. I have been a patient of mr Kumar for a long time now and he has put me at ease. I moved to Burgess Hill 4 years ago and because Mr Kumar is so nice I couldn't bear the thought of changing to another dentist who doesn't know me or my teeth!
