Sunburn, sand… and a toothache? Here’s how we can help make these holidays great
Picture this: It’s a scorching Brisbane summer, your holiday plans are in full swing, and then… BAM. A rogue popcorn kernel cracks your molar during a festive movie night, or your kid’s Christmas candy binge results in a sudden toothache. Not the holiday vibe you had in mind, right? That’s where Teneriffe Dental’s holiday emergency dental care comes to the rescue.
While most practices shut their doors over the break, we’re here to keep your holidays stress-free. Whether it’s a dental emergency or a last-minute pre-party teeth whitening, we’re here to support you during the silly season. Teneriffe Dental has your back, no matter the season.
Why holiday dental care matters: dental emergencies don’t take holidays
We all know life happens when you least expect it. Cracked teeth, lost fillings, or jaw pain don’t politely wait until January to make their entrance. A dental emergency can:
1. Turn your summer BBQ into a soft-foods-only affair.
2. Ruin precious holiday snaps with a pained grimace instead of a dazzling smile.
3. Escalate into a bigger (and costlier) problem if ignored.
By being open throughout the holidays, we provide a safety net for you and your family when you need it most.

Actionable tips to protect your smile this Summer
As oral health experts, we’ve got lots of simple and effective tips to keep your teeth in top shape during the holidays:
Pack a dental travel kit
Include a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and a small bottle of mouthwash. Having these on hand makes it easier to maintain your routine, even away from home.
Stick to your oral hygiene routine
Late-night celebrations shouldn’t mean skipping your brushing and flossing. Clean your teeth morning and night to avoid plaque build-up and decay.
Avoid hard or sticky treats
Stay alert when eating candy canes, toffees, and nuts, as they can crack teeth or pull out fillings. Opt for softer snacks if you can.
Stay hydrated
Drinking water not only keeps you cool but also helps wash away food particles and bacteria. Plus, it’s the best choice for your teeth over sugary beverages.
Use a mouthguard
If you’re playing sports or backyard games, protect your teeth with a mouthguard to prevent injuries.
Don’t ignore warning signs
If you notice pain, swelling, or sensitivity, call us immediately. Catching issues early can save you from a dental disaster.
Schedule a pre-holiday check-up
A quick visit before the break ensures your teeth are in great shape and minimises the risk of emergencies.
