If you are planning on traveling some time soon here are some thoughts and information that can help you prevent dental problems while away.
Of course the best course of action is preventive, such as having a thorough exam and cleaning done before leaving. If you have painful or trouble areas have them taken care of.
There is a "Travelers Guide to Safe Dental Care" that is accessible from the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures at www.osap.org (716) 754-4883 that you can check out. There are international organizations that could help locate a dentist overseas. One is the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers at www.iamat.org and the American Dental Society of Europe at www.adse.co.uk (011-44-141-331-0088).
