Disaster Girl's Survival Kit Recommendations
Bonus items you should add on top of items listed in previous survival kit article.
Adding the Power of a Dentist to your Stash:
Let's face it, one of us bound to get a toothache when disaster strikes. Whether the dentist's office just doesn't have power or it's completed shut down is irrelevant in the end, what matters is the ability and know how to temporarily fix it.
Now I'm not talking full on root canals, caps, braces or bridges- you'll actually have to find a dentist for that. What I am talking is basic cleaning instruments, cleaners, and methods of repairing minor issues that spring up along the way.

It also wouldn't hurt to have small bottles of all of the following: acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. DenTemp is the only thing that requires instructions, and they are located on the back of the box. The most important of all being that you keep the area clean and dry during whatever work you are doing! While this won't be a permanent fix to your dental woes, it will bide you some time to find a dentist!
Happy Surviving!
