Help! My filling Has Fallen Out and I\u2019m on Holiday\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some things you can take on holiday – a good book, sun cream, a sarong – and there are some things you can\u2019t and a dentist is one of them. This might sound glaringly obvious but when a filling falls out it\u2019s the first thing that springs to mind. That\u2019s why dentists recommend packing a temporary filling kit in your suitcase.<\/p>\n

Oral hygiene company DenTek\u2019s Temparin\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n

Dr Quintus Van Tonder, Clinical Director at Zandielle Dental Clinic in Attleborough says, \u201cThere\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s floss picks and interdental brushes are a must.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

DenTek products are available at Boots, Amazon, Sainsbury\u2019s, Waitrose, Ocado, Superdrug and through the DenTek website.<\/p>\n
