You can dress yourself in all of the latest fashion trends and accessories but what will really make you stand out from the crowd is a healthy bright smile.
Dentist’s such as Dr. Hung have been transforming people’s smiles for many years and when you are able to flash a bright and confident smile when meeting and greeting people, it often beats any designer accessory for making a lasting impression with anyone you meet.
Invest in your smile!
If you are one of the many that enjoys a good label in your wardrobe there is absolutely nothing wrong with that of course, but an investment that lasts well beyond the latest fashion trends is when you commit to investing in your smile.
It doesn’t always have to cost money to invest in your smile either, as there are lots of things you can do for yourself as well as getting your dentist to lend a professional hand.
Watch what you eat and drink
If you are out and about wearing an expensive designer outfit there is a good chance that you will be extra careful about what you eat and drink, in case it happens to spill on your dress or designer handbag.
If you apply the same logic to your smile it could make quite a difference to your approach to maintaining healthy teeth and even make you think twice about the damage you might be causing inside your mouth.
You would probably be horrified if you managed to spill tea or coffee on your designer outfit but yet we often don’t think twice about allowing these drinks to infiltrate our mouth and impact our smile with staining.
You don’t have to give up the coffee and tea if you can’t do without it but try to drink more smile friendly if you can and brush and floss regularly to minimize the impact of staining and bacteria building up. You will find that a good electric toothbrush is quite effective.
Your drinks menu doesn’t have to be boring and you can find some good teeth-friendly beverages and cocktails to enjoy if you want to enjoy a drink that will be kinder to your teeth than regular cups of tea and coffee.
Red wine and cigarettes
If you are partial to a regular glass of red wine in the evening there is a fair chance that your teeth will provide evidence of your preference, as the dark color of red wine is absorbed by your tooth enamel.
As well as brushing and flossing regularly to try and reduce the impact of staining from red wine you could try making a strawberry paste that you can rub onto your teeth.
All you have to do is crush some fresh strawberries into a paste and rub it onto the surface of your teeth. You should still make regular appointments with your dentist for a professional clean, but this little trick can help to reduce the staining from red wine.
Cigarettes are just a complete no-brainer in so many ways. In addition to the obvious risk to your life by smoking you will find it almost impossible to prevent your teeth from staining.
If you want a whiter smile, there are many at-home products that are quite effective and more affordable than you might think. The new Platinum Whitening Kit ($29.99) from CVS/pharmacy quickly whitens your teeth and removes stains from red wine and coffee in just one 20 minute treatment! So next time you are sitting on the couch watching The Bachelor on Monday night, you can be whitening your teeth at the same time!
