Don’t just focus on eating and drinking when traveling! Experts teach you how to protect your teeth and not overturn your car on May Day

The May Day holiday is coming soon. Don’t let your teeth have problems while eating, drinking and having fun!

Zheng Shuguo, director of the Department of Oral Prevention and Health Care of Peking University School of Stomatology and director, professor and chief physician of the Oral Prevention Medicine Teaching and Research Department, specially reminded: You must not relax during the holidays when protecting your teeth!

Come and see how to protect your teeth during the holidays so that you don’t lose your car.

  1. Don’t disrupt your holiday routine, too, too, you are afraid that you will “stay up late”

When traveling, it is easy to go to bed late and get up early, and lack of rest.

But Professor Zheng Shuguo reminded that if the work and rest are in chaos, oral problems may come to you!

For example, the originally hidden gingivitis may suddenly swell and bleeding, affecting the mood of the entire journey.

Therefore: No matter where you are, regular schedule and ensuring rest are important!

  1. Do not break the oral cleaning, travel suits must be prepared

Some people are lazy when traveling, and think it doesn’t matter if they don’t brush their teeth every day?

Professor Zheng bluntly said: Brushing teeth is as important as washing your face and wearing clothes, and cannot be ignored!

There are many portable oral care products now, such as small toothbrushes, mini toothpastes, portable floss, travel-fit mouthwash...

It is recommended to prepare before departure, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and clean your mouth at any time.

If you really encounter inconvenient brushing, you can also:

  • Simple cleaning with mouthwash
  • Chewing sugar-free chewing gum to help remove oral residues

Don’t let temporary laziness lay big problems!

  1. Eat less sugar and drink less sweet drinks, and keep your mouth under control during holidays

During the holidays, snacks and drinks are the source of happiness, but they are invisible "killers" to teeth.

Professor Zheng specially reminds:

  • Sugar-containing beverages are not only carbonated beverages, but also fruit juices, milk beverages, and functional beverages!
  • Eating too much sugar and taking frequent intake is most likely to cause tooth decay.

Especially for children, the dental caries rate in children in my country is already high and is still rising.

Parents must pay attention to controlling the quantity and frequency of snacks and sweet drinks for their children.

The same goes for adults. Don’t “let yourself go” and eat and drink without restraint.

Happy holidays, and happy teeth.
