Necessities of life? Clean teeth & temporary housing for travel nurses

As a nurse, you know that good oral hygiene is essential to overall patient health. After all, cleaning a patient’s teeth can help prevent disease and remove bacteria.1 But hospital patients aren’t the only ones that need to take care of their teeth…nurses do as well! In this post, we’ll discuss oral hygiene as well as some benefits to Shreveport temporary housing for travel nurses.

Local Shreveport & Bossier City Dentists

Nurses care for our needs when we are at our lowest. They help us to perform basic tasks and ensure that we are cared for in times of physical crisis. It’s not an easy job…but is so appreciated! Nurse burnout is a real issue and travel nurses in particular can help alleviate this problem. Hospitals dealing with a lot of patients can benefit from temporary help from out-of-town nursing staff.

But travel nurses need to make sure that they take time for self-care as well. This includes getting regular dental care. Below are some options for local Shreveport LA area dentists.

Please keep in mind that the dental offices mentioned are only suggestions…we are providing these options as a convenience to our current and potential tenants! We don’t specifically endorse any business listed. Also, please follow guidelines for social distancing while out and about. Shreveport Bossier Corporate Housing wants you to be safe, happy and healthy!

Types of Toothbrushes to Use

Dental care isn’t the only piece of the puzzle in oral health. Daily brushing and flossing of teeth is also very important. We’ve included some links below to several articles that review the best options for your dental health.
