However, things don\u2019t always go as planned. Whether it\u2019s a weekend girls' trip or a romantic dream vacation, the tooth fairy can\u2019t magically fix everything. Luckily, Haute Beauty expert\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/member\/dr-mimi-yeung\/\"><strong>Dr. Mimi Yeung<\/strong> <\/a>and her team at M.Y. Dental Spa have got you covered with your go-to guide for any dental mishaps during travel.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some easy fixes to<em> common dental emergencies<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Toothaches <\/strong>-\u00a0Dental pain can be resolved simply by removing particles in the mouth or around the aching tooth. To do this, try rinsing out your mouth with warm water and flossing out any leftover food that may be stuck. If the pain persists, call a dentist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cracked or Broken Tooth<\/strong> -\u00a0If a tooth chips, rinse it with warm water immediately to clean the area. A cold compress can be applied to minimize any swelling but in this case, you should reach out to a dentist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loose or Lost Tooth<\/strong> - If a tooth falls out, keep the tooth moist at all times. If possible, try putting the tooth back into the socket without touching the root. If not, the tooth can be placed between the cheek and gums or in a glass of milk to keep it hydrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If contacting or visiting a dentist is necessary, it\u2019s important to know where to find one! If you are still in the United States,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/findadentist.ada.org\/\">Find-a-Dentist<\/a> <\/strong>is a great source that can help locate a dentist closest to you. For those traveling outside of the country, there are a few important things to consider if an emergency pops up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-657547 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_636153413.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_636153413.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_636153413-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_636153413-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_636153413-357x238.jpg 357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: Shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few steps to follow when\u00a0<em>visiting a new dentist<\/em> abroad:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Locating a dentist<\/strong> - Finding a good dentist overseas can be tricky but with the help of your hotel concierge, friends in the area, travel insurance agents, or even the local embassy or consulate can lead you in the right direction with recommendations so make sure to ask.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel Insurance<\/strong> - Make sure to check if your insurance covers you while traveling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treatment Insurance<\/strong> - Even if you have travel insurance, you may not always be covered for dental treatment.
