Holiday trips often disrupt daily routines, and oral hygiene is usually one of the first habits to slip. Dr Erin explains that keeping teeth healthy during this period does not need to be complicated. Packing a small travel kit with essentials like a toothbrush, toothpaste and interdental brushes ensures patients can clean their teeth even during flights or long journeys. She emphasises brushing twice daily and flossing whenever possible as the foundation of maintaining oral health.

She also highlights how festive foods, especially sticky and sugary snacks, can increase the risk of decay. Rinsing with water helps wash away sugars, while limiting the frequency of snacking reduces the exposure of teeth to bacteria. Dr Erin reminds viewers that a pre-travel dental check-up can prevent emergencies that may arise overseas. Her guidance focuses on practical steps that keep teeth healthy despite busy schedules and holiday indulgences.
