Well, over the past couple of weeks we have had a couple of heatwaves and torrential rain … that means it must be summertime! A lot of you will be looking forward to your holiday or even packing, getting ready to jet off somewhere. You might have packed a good book, some sun cream, even a sarong … some might have even packed the kitchen sink! But you can’t take everything that you want, there are just some things that you can’t pack and a dentist is one of them. Why would you want to take a dentist with you? Well, imagine this … you’re lying on a beach soaking up the sun or walking around the ancient ruins of the Acropolis in Greece and while eating that cooling ice cream cone your filling falls out. Now you wish you had packed a dentist! Well unless your partner or spouse is a dentist you can’t take one with you, but you can throw the next best thing in your luggage, something that dentists recommend – a temporary filling kit.
Oral hygiene company DenTek’s Temparin® Advanced Repair Kit is right up there as a suitcase essential for the savvy traveller. It temporarily holds lost fillings, caps, crowns and inlays in place until you have a chance to visit the dentist. It is travel friendly, requires no mixing and is safe to eat on.
Dr Quintus Van Tonder, Clinical Director at Zandielle Dental Clinic in Attleborough says, “There’s nothing worse than losing a filling while on holiday and being unable to see a dentist. Nobody wants precious holiday moments blighted by toothache. Dental repair kits are easy to use and will tide you over pain-free until you can get to your dentist. It is, however, important to make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as you get home.”
Dentists also recommend that you clean the harder-to-reach areas of your teeth to reduce the likelihood of needing an emergency dentist. 77% of tooth decay starts between the teeth but only 31% of us floss on a regular basis. A toothbrush alone cleans just 60% of the tooth. To hit the other 40% that the toothbrush can’t reach, oral hygiene products such as DenTek’s floss picks and interdental brushes are a must.
So, before you jet off on your next escape to the sun, remember to pack your emergency dental repair kit to keep you smiling all holiday long!
It’s time to clean between! DenTek meet the oral health needs of the population by offering a wide range of oral health accessories, from floss picks and roll floss, to tongue cleaners and scrapers, to interdental brushes and picks.
DenTek products are available at Boots, Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Superdrug and through the DenTek website.
