Experts Suggest an On-the-Go Travel-Friendly Oral Hygiene Guide

News Desk, News Nation 360 : Brushing is usually the first oral hygiene routine that travellers abandon at least once a day, and the dehydration caused by air travel can reduce saliva secretion, which rapidly disrupts oral health. Irregular eating schedules and sweet treats during travel exacerbate issues such as bad breath and bacterial imbalance. To mitigate these disturbances, Dr Sonia Datta, MDS, PhD, Professor in Public Health Dentistry, recommends a travel-friendly oral health strategy, emphasising the importance of good habits and versatile products. The most important tips are to assemble a travel oral health kit, use water to rinse the mouth after meals if brushing is not possible, and opt for hydration over carbonated beverages. A multi-purpose toothpaste that addresses freshness, gum care, and bacterial protection is the most space- and time-efficient option. Ayurvedic herbs are effective in varying climates and water conditions: Pudina satva for freshness, clove oil for antibacterial properties, and camphor for soothing sensitivity. Dabur Red Paste, which has earned the IDA Seal of Acceptance, is a travel-friendly formulation of these traditional herbs. Maintaining a consistent routine even when exhausted is essential to ensure that a trip does not adversely affect oral health. With a reliable, versatile product, travellers can feel confident and protected, ensuring that oral health is not the cost of a successful adventure.
