May is also Skin Cancer Awareness Month! When you’re going outside in the sun, make sure to put sunscreen on and protect your skin from premature aging and cancer. Staying on top of your health, especially this time of year is incredibly important. Even untreated tooth decay and gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of developing cancer due to the chronic inflammation untreated dental diseases may cause.
There are some things that you can do to avoid these dental issues. Don't forget to pack toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss when you travel. Even if you’re on vacation, there should be no vacation from taking care of your teeth every day. And if you find yourself with any infection, make sure to come and see us as soon as possible. The best defense against needing a root canal is a dental checkup at least every six months. Dental decay can progress very quickly if left untreated.
When dental pain starts, call a licensed dentist. To find a licensed dentist while traveling, you can ask the people you are visiting for a referral, or you can look online at the American Dental Association website for member dentist in the area. If traveling outside of the United States, your travel agent may be able to assist you in finding a dentist.
