Internal Arts Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine present in your mouth convert the sugar and starch in this food into acids, which attack the enamel on your teeth and can cause tooth decay. The more often you eat foods that contain sugars and starches, “Road trip!” -- to some of us those words bring back lots of memories. To others, going on a road trip is still on the to-do list. If the idea is appealing, here are some thoughts to get you dreaming. The first consideration is your vehicle. You can rent a comfy SUV with luxury seats and stereo, and then spend nights in motels. You won’t be putting the mileage on your own vehicle, and if the SUV breaks down, a replacement is only a phone call away. A rental also gives you the option of a one-way trip: Brighter Smiles... and the longer these remain in your mouth before brushing, the greater your risk for decay. That is why it is important to brush and floss after every meal, preferably about a half hour after the meal, to brush away any food particles that may be clinging to or in between your teeth. Sugar and starch are not just in junk food. Sugar also lurks in things such as milk, yogurt, salad dressing, ketchup, and even some vegetables. Fruit juices, granola bars, and even “nutritional” bars can also be loaded with sugar. Starchy foods such as bread, cereal, pasta and beans can also wreak havoc on your teeth and gums. Like sugar, starch can also be found in some unexpected places such as bananas, canned soup, prepared spaghetti sauce, potatoes, and some other vegetables like corn and peas. It’s not just what you eat, it’s when and how frequently you eat. Limit the amount of sugary and starchy foods, especially between meals. Make sure to read nutritional labels so you know what you are consuming. After you do eat any of these things, wait about a half hour for your saliva to naturally neutralize your mouth and then brush You can leave the vehicle at an airport and fly home. You can pull a camper and spend time in a campground. Or you can rent and drive an RV and have your amenities right there with you. (Hint, if you opt for an RV: Get it in advance and learn to drive it, hook it up and empty the tanks. Consider doing a weekend dry run to a local spot before your actual trip.) Do your planning. Research highlights along the way and decide if you want to stop at every single museum or just cruise right by them. Check restaurants and see what you should expect for pricing. Consider stopping to see Dietary Reminders Senior Scene On the Road Again with fluoridated toothpaste. There are several factors other than sugar that can contribute to dental decay. Genetics play a role, in addition to other things such as home care, xerostomia (dry mouth), pH (acidity level), gum recession and age. Decay rates can change throughout life due to these factors. For those who are more prone to decay, a prescription fluoridated toothpaste should be an important consideration. This is something only your dentist can prescribe, so regular dental visits are essential. Snack on healthier choices such as cheese, vegetables and fruit. These are better for you in general but still require you to cleanse your teeth following consumption. Try to limit your intake of soda and fruit juices and drink plenty of water. Water not only keeps you hydrated but helps with cleansing the mouth. Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry.

If you have a big vehicle and plan to visit large cities, investigate where you can leave the vehicle and take local bus or subway. Learn the different types of RV parks and what they provide. See if it’s worth it to join the Kampgrounds of America (koa.com) for its reduced rates. Some resorts offer RV parking. Take your AARP card for discounts. Consult AAA for trip planning. Review your medications and be sure to take enough. (Take extra just in case.) And most of all: Take your camera! (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
