When you're on vacation, you don't want to slack off on your tooth-whitening regime and lose your attractive, bright smile. If anything, you want your teeth to look their best while you're relaxing and enjoying yourself. Putting together home tooth whitening kits to pack in your luggage is as simple as choosing a few effective, compact, oral care products.
Toothbrushes
keep your pearly whites sparkling, don't leave home without a toothbrush designed to scrub stains off tooth enamel. A compact, disposable mini-toothbrush is ideal for flying and weekend getaways. A mini-brush doesn't take up much room, and many don't need water, so you never have to rinse. For a longer vacation, your everyday toothbrush and a whitening pen is the kind of space-saving combination you need. After brushing your teeth, you can use the pen to treat areas where surface stains linger.
Toothpastes
Avoid taking bulky tubes of whitening toothpastes with you on vacation. A large tube of toothpaste takes up a lot of space, and you only use a little of it. What's more, toothpaste falls under the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) in the United States Liquids Rule, which means that if you're flying, you can't take anything larger than a 3.4-ounce toothpaste tube in your carry on baggage. Select a travel-sized whitening toothpaste that will fit neatly in your toiletries bag and won't attract the attention of the TSA.

Mouthwashes
If you want your teeth to shine, rinsing with tooth whitening mouthwash is the final touch after brushing your teeth twice a day. However, mouthwash bottles are a little too large to go in your carry-on. If you're flying to your destination, pour the mouthwash into a special travel-size bottle, which you can purchase from many drugstores. Don't forget to add a label to remind yourself of what's inside.
Floss
Though flossing doesn't remove surface stains from your teeth, home tooth whitening kits aren't complete without floss. While you're away on vacation, as well as brushing your teeth twice a day with whitening toothpaste, you should floss between your teeth every day to help prevent cavities. Slip a packet of floss into your toiletry bag before you go, and your oral care kit's complete!
With so much to think about when you go on vacation, you don't want to worry about home tooth whitening kits. Select from products specially made to whiten your teeth and include a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss in your packing checklist. While you're away, you can pose for vacation photos wearing your best smile.
