How To Get, And Keep, A Superstar Smile


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.
