To be worried about DDs teeth/not brushing at camp?

DD 12 has forgotten to take her toothbrush and toothpaste to camp this weekend. I'm worried about her teeth any potential damage etc. She will be eating sweets etc I'm sure and not brush for 2 days. Camp is about 45 mins away. should we take to them to her tomorrow? She's back Sunday afternoon.

Aibu worrying about this?

Honestly it’s highly unlikely it’ll cause any issues other than honking bad breath

It's 2 days, so won't make any difference to anything!

I wouldn't worry. If she's anything like my DC she might not be brushing them properly whilst away anyway 🤦‍♀️.

I wouldn’t worry for such a short time period.

Thanks for the replies so far. My teeth aren't great as I wasn't a good brusher when I was young, so I'm really paranoid about the kids brushing their teeth

I sent mine with their toothbrushes. I'm pretty sure they were unused when they came back.
My ds also came back wearing the same pair of pants that he was wearing when he left - 5 days before.
It really doesn't matter as a one off.

It’s 2 days and at 12 you turning up with a toothbrush will be pretty embarrassing

Montague22 · 08/10/2022 08:33

She’ll be fine. Don’t embarrass her.

It’s not great but just get her to brush when she gets home.
she is having fun in camp!

Chances are the adults with her will have spares. Pinging them a message would be reasonable, taking her some would not be. 2 days will do her no harm and chances are she wouldn't have done them properly anyway.

Yeah she'd hate it if we turn up. Now I think about it I'm not sure she brushed her teeth last camp! Do they just fall into bed at the end of the day??

When DS went on a 3 day residential at that age his washbag came home totally unopened!
He survived
