Spring is here and with spring comes warm weather and plenty of road trips and family fun on the go. We love traveling as a family, especially when the weather is beautiful and we can visit our favorite place, the beach. This year we’ll be traveling a little further and heading South to Orlando to the happiest place on earth. And you better believe, I have a list of road trip essentials and I’ll be packing all of my favorites. Things like snacks and my favorite treat, soda, cameras and books, and Pandora on the smartphone, and of course, a toothbrush, floss and Aquafresh® toothpaste.
One thing I love about road trips is grabbing snacks that I don’t usually eat. You know, sugary snacks that I can only justify on vacation. I don’t want to deprive myself and the kids of fun treats every once in a while, but I always want to stay conscious of our dental health. Sugar acid can be dangerous to teeth, so it’s important to think about keeping our teeth clean and brushing twice each day, even on the go. I think half of the battle is just taking the toothpaste and toothbrush along. I always pack the toothpaste, toothbrush and floss in arm’s reach because I can’t eat those sugary snacks all day and forgo teeth brushing. Can we talk about how much better it makes me feel? I love a whitening toothpaste, but I don’t always feel like they deliver the level of clean that I look for in a toothpaste, not the case with the Aquafresh Extreme Clean Whitening Action Toothpaste; it’s a favorite of mine. Not only does it deliver the clean, fresh feeling while protecting from sugar acids, it also has a gentle whitener in the toothpaste. It isn’t harsh on my teeth or gums and I love the results I get from using it regularly. Aquafresh® toothpaste helps protects tooth enamel from damage caused by sugar acids and also helps protect your teeth against cavities. I think we can all agree that having a beautiful, healthy smile builds confidence. So don’t shy away from keeping your teeth clean and healthy on the go! The cleaner the better, and the better I feel about indulging in a few road trip worthy snacks. Here are a few of my favorite tips for maintaining oral health on the go:
1. Keep an extra toothbrush and a tube of Aquafresh® toothpaste in your purse.
2. Take a few minutes to slip into the bathroom after you eat to brush your teeth, don’t allow those sugar acids to sit on your teeth until bedtime.
3. Grab a travel toothbrush with a case, so you can keep it clean on the go.
4. Always keep some floss on hand, you can floss anytime!

As a backpacker, I carry as light as possible, and you can’t be much more on the go then carrying your home on your back through the woods. I always carry a small, foldable toothbrush and a sample toothpaste. I also carry floss. Brushing and flossing is just part of my routine as I wake up in the morning to eat, drink coffee and pack up as it is in the evening as I eat, set up my tent, brush/floss my teeth and off to bed, just to repeat again in the morning.
