Brushing on Vacation

With the end of the year coming up so many people are rushing to take their last vacations.  Many people saved up so many days due to pandemic and now they are all scheduling for an end of year vacation or just spending time visiting family during the Holidays.  But with all of this traveling going on there are some things you need to keep in mind and be aware of.  With the extra vacations and also extra family and friend get-togethers with the Holidays your teeth may be attacked more this year than any other.  It is also the two most important times to not slack on your dental routine, but many people do.  It is not out of spite or lack of care but convenience.  When you are on vacation or also eating and drinking with family members and enjoying all the sweet treats of the Holidays we simply neglect our teeth by not doing some things we should.  It is because we are having fun and just enjoying ourselves and the people around us.  Or it can also be for the exact opposite of that as well!  Let's face it not all family gatherings are a good time.  So there are a few things to keep in mind when on vacation or eating and drinking extra for the Holidays.

 

That is why I think it is important to have a plan when it comes to going on vacation.  My main goal is to be prepared and to get inspired to do what I need to do this year.  I do have a plan for a late vacation during the holidays and my family is going to be staying in a few hotels.  That means we need to be ready to overcome the forgetfulness or flat out tiredness of vacation.  So my plan or really my wife's plan was to go to a big box store and get really fun travel toothbrushes and paste.  I have to say this is going to be the best idea because it has already made it fun for all of us. We not only are going to have a plan but are looking forward to doing it and following it through.

 

So each of us got a special toothbrush.  We ended up getting themed brushes from Star Wars. I thought it was funny that my Wife chose Darth Vader and I ended up being Master Yoda.  It was just funny to be good and bad and that is how we played it off to our kids. They ended up getting Avengers toothbrushes and everyone is really excited to use them next week.

 

My favorite part is that they all have suction cups on the bottom. I think this is the best way to keep our brushes safe from getting dirty on any counter or from falling.  This has been a really great way in the past to keep our family clean and healthy.  But what makes me the happiest is that we all are keeping each other accountable because one of us is always excited to be a superhero for the night. It is a great way to motivate me to get the kids ready for bed. So give this a try on your next vacation and enjoy it.
