Summer is here, which means it’s a great time to take a vacation to get a break from your daily responsibilities. As you book your hotel and prepare your baggage, don’t forget to visit your dentist. The last thing you want is a dental emergency interrupting your vacation. Although you may never expect it to happen to you, 1 in 6 Americans has a dental emergency every year. While there’s never a good time to have one, if it occurs when you’re away from home, it can make a stressful situation much worse and ruin your trip. Thankfully, you can safeguard your smile by visiting your dentist before you leave.
