Dental care before travelling - is it necessary?

In co-operation with Aqua Dental

Do you ever think about dental care while travelling? If there is one thing we have learnt over the years, it is to be more and more careful with our teeth. This is always true, of course, but feels extra important when you're going on a longer trip. Who wants a toothache while travelling?

Going to the dentist regularly

Brushing and flossing are great, but the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises is to visit your dentist (and dental hygienist) regularly. If something is wrong, you have the chance to detect it in time, before it becomes unpleasant and expensive. And yes, in this case we speak from experience.

We don't want to go into the details, but someone in the family (wonder who?) waited a little too long for that dental appointment and then it got ugly... and yes, expensive!

Perhaps going to the dentist less often worked for him when he was younger, but conditions change with age. Peter says that after the age of 50 it is yet more important to visit both dentists and dental hygienists regularly.

Dental care before travelling

Whether you need dental care before travelling depends of course, but if you're going on a longer trip, it's not a bad idea to check your teeth beforehand! When we travelled for a year around Europe in 2015, I (Helena) made sure to book a dental appointment before we left.

Of course, there are dentists abroad too, but you want to avoid dental problems while travelling. Besides the fact that there are more fun things to do on holiday, it's not always easy to know how it works or where to go ...

Aqua Dental

We have now tried to make a visit to the Aqua Dental in Stockholm, more specifically at their clinic on Norr Mälarstrand in Kungsholmen (they have several). First of all, we must say that it felt really nice to step in here! The clinic is small and the staff is really super nice.

We have made one visit to the dentist and one to the dental hygienist and we are very satisfied. They both took their time and told us about each tooth. When we left, we felt that we had more information than we had ever received before from a dentist. In fact, Peter has already signed up to be called again next time.

What is your relationship with the dentist? Are you good at getting away or do you prefer to wait until it is unavoidable?
