Holidaymakers have been urged to keep their toothbrush and toothpaste close by during a flight
When you're gearing up for a long-haul journey, it's all too easy to forget some of the basics during the packing frenzy.
Dr Nyree Whitley, group clinical director at mydentist, said: "When travelling long haul, it's natural to want to take some shortcuts or look into hacks on how to make the journey more comfortable. However, if you're looking to save space in your hand luggage, leaving your toothbrush and toothpaste at home might not be the best idea if you want a comfortable journey.
The Foreign Office has given the green light for passengers to bring toothpaste on planes, provided the tube is within the 100ml liquids limit. Also, the TSA has confirmed that electric toothbrushes are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags, but advises that those with lithium-ion batteries should be carried in hand luggage, reports Chronicle Live. Manual toothbrushes should pass through security without issue.
