A dental kit contains tools and products designed to promote oral hygiene and lower the risk of dental disease. These items also assist with cleaning and maintaining between dental visits.
Every prepper should keep a dental emergency kit within reach in their home. Such kits could provide lifesaving aid during times of urgent care needs.
Toothbrush
A toothbrush featuring multi-sided bristle heads is an excellent way to effectively and gently clean teeth and braces. The criss-cross brushing pattern effectively removes plaque from hard-to-reach places while its gentle bristle tips don’t put strain on gum tissue.
Specialized toothpaste with various formulas helps combat tooth decay, gingivitis, bad breath and other oral health concerns. Some even contain fluoride.
Dental emergencies can happen anywhere, even while traveling abroad. This kit contains temporary solutions to address lost or broken filling caps/crowns/filling caps/crowns and toothaches until a dentist becomes available.
Toothpaste
Toothpaste is a gel or paste used to clean teeth and gums, remove plaque build-up and prevent gum disease. Most toothpaste contains fluoride which strengthens tooth enamel against decay while other types contain mild abrasives for stain removal as well as moistening agents like glycerol or sorbitol that keep it moist during use.
Many toothpastes include flavors to freshen breath and others are specifically tailored for sensitive teeth, while still others contain ingredients designed to remineralize degraded tooth enamel.
This eco-friendly kit provides travelers and hoteliers alike with everything they need to keep their dental health up. Perfect for hotels and travelers!
Floss
Dental floss is a thin thread used to clean between the teeth that cannot be reached with toothbrushes. Available both as string and flat tape forms, waxed or unwaxed versions exist depending on personal preferences and cleaning needs.
Travel-friendly floss is composed of biodegradable silk produced from caterpillar cocoons spun from silkworm caterpillar cocoons, making it plastic-free, compostable, and vegan-friendly.
Standard nylon dental floss typically comprises 35 thick strands of thread twisted together, and comes in either waxed or unwaxed versions. Waxed versions feature a light coating of wax to help it slip easily between tight spaces, while unwaxed varieties may shred or break more easily.
Mouthwash
Mouthwash plays an invaluable role in maintaining oral health by clearing away bacteria, eliminating bad breath and dissolving plaque build-up. However, it should be remembered that overuse could compromise healthy bacteria.
This kit contains carefully chosen toothpaste, mouthwash and dental floss made with organic ingredients and without triclosan that are cruelty-free and sustainable community initiatives, providing long-term use.
Gauze
An emergency dental kit is invaluable in times of dental disaster and cannot be reached quickly by professionals. It contains supplies to treat toothaches, missing fillings, caps or crowns, cracked/broken teeth or gum irritation.
Gauze fabric is a light open-weave fabric used in surgical dressings or clothing applications that is typically composed of cotton. However, sometimes silk or other fibers may also be employed – hence its name being taken from Gaza in Palestine.
Wound contact gauze offers exceptional absorbency, extreme suppleness and low linting characteristics. It transfers moisture directly to a central pad while its sealed edges protect wounds from contaminants.
Toothpicks
Toothpicks are an efficient tool for clearing away food debris between teeth after eating, however overuse can damage gum tissue and result in splinters or cause bleeding in crevices between the teeth.
Toothpicks with sharp points can puncture gum tissue and allow bacteria to enter, potentially leading to infection and tooth root damage if regularly chewed on.
Toothpicks should only be used sparingly as their use can damage tooth enamel and fracture crowns or veneers. Instead, flossing remains the superior way of clearing away food debris between teeth.
Toothpick Case
An elegant toothpick case makes sure you always have clean, fresh toothpicks ready when needed – and makes an ideal present on any special occasion!
Toothpick ingestion is an unusual but treatable condition that needs medical care to address effectively. Toothpicks are safe products to use that also fight gum disease effectively.
