Visit the dentist. Get a dental checkup well before your trip. Emergency dental care during your trip can be expensive, time consuming...and painful. I once had a tooth crowned by a German dentist who knew only one word in English, which he used in question form—“Pain?”

Take extra precautions for exotic locations. No vaccinations are required for travel in Europe. But if you’re heading to more exotic destinations, such as Morocco, Russia, or Turkey, ask your doctor about any shots or medicine you might need, or consult a travel-medicine physician. Only these specialists keep entirely up-to-date on health conditions for travelers around the world. Tell the doctor about every possible destination on your vacation itinerary, confirmed or not. Then you can have the flexibility to take that impulsive swing through Turkey or Morocco knowing that you’re prepared medically and have the required shots. Ask the doctor about vaccines against hepatitis A (food- or water-borne virus) and hepatitis B (virus transmitted by bodily fluids), antidiarrheal medicines, and any additional precautions. Countries “require” shots in order to protect their citizens from you and “recommend” shots to protect you from them. If any travel vaccines or medications are recommended, take that advice seriously. The Centers for Disease Control offers updated information on every country (cdc.gov/travel).
