People with perfect, gleaming white smiles
seem powerful and full of confidence, which is why having a great smile can
bring advantages to every aspect of your life. You're sure to have noticed that
many of our leading TV, film and music stars can also boast a dazzling smile,
but the good news is that you don't have to be a superstar to have an award
winning smile. Here are some simple tips on how to get a great smile and how to
keep it in perfect condition year after year.
Always Practice Good Dental Hygiene
We live hectic lives, so sometimes we can't
dedicate the time we'd like to some activities, but your dental hygiene routine
is one that you should never compromise on. Brushing twice a day and flossing
after meals will help to keep plaque and tartar at bay, and it will also help
to strengthen and protect the enamel coating on your teeth; once this enamel
has worn away it exposes the yellow or grey under surface of the tooth known as
dentin, something that can certainly put a dent in your smile and your confidence.
Don't forget to change your toothbrush at regular intervals, and many people
find that they get better results from an electric toothbrush when compared to a manual one
as they can be more effective at plaque removal.
Make The Most Of Expert Help
If you're smile isn't as great as it once
was, you could benefit hugely from the expert help of specialists such as Enhanced Dental Studios. As well as general dentistry they also provide a
wide range of cosmetic dentistry solutions that will give you the smile you've
always dreamed of. One solution available here, and often used by stars across
the globe, is the application of porcelain veneers; they're hard wearing,
perfectly even and perfectly white. Another expert solution is to have a smile
makeover including a teeth whitening process. Unlike kits you can buy and use
at home, these give you long lasting whiteness without the risks associated
with do-it-yourself tooth whitening.
Keeping Your White Smile
Once you have a great smile it's important
to do all you can to keep it that way. Once again, regular brushing and
flossing is key, but you should also avoid substances which can discolour your
teeth, such as coffee, tea, red white and cigarettes, as well as some fruits,
juices and berries. Using a mouthwash on a daily basis can also help to keep
plaque at bay. It also helps to reduce your sugar intake, particularly when
taken through highly sugared drinks such as energy drinks. Reducing sugar
content and good dental health and hygiene go hand in hand, and in fact looking
after your dental health can bring a whole host of general health benefits.
Look after your gleaming white superstar
smile, and you'll never be afraid of showing your teeth in public again. When
you smile broadly at people you'll find they smile right on back, so don't be
afraid of getting expert help from your dental practitioner, and ensure that
your brushing and flossing routine is always adhered to.
