Two of the first things you think of when Valentine’s Day comes around are candy and kisses (sometimes combined!). Whether you’re a fan of chocolate, hard-candy hearts, or some other kind of candy, your dental health can take a beating on Valentine’s Day.
And everyone wants to have good dental health on Valentine’s Day, because nothing is as conducive to kissing your loved ones as an attractive smile, and clean, healthy mouth.
To help you and your loved ones have a great Valentine’s Day, we here at Smiles Nambour offer some suggestions as to how to have a brilliant smile on Valentine’s Day and year round.
Teeth Whitening Procedures
Millions of people whiten their teeth to improve their appearance. Often, however, the first place people start is at the drugstore counter and the products they buy there leave them frustrated or disappointed with the results. These products can be ineffective and even dangerous.
So, while there are any number of “whitening” toothpastes, strips, and gels, it is almost always better to have your teeth whitened at your local dentist.
The best result can only be achieved by consulting a dentist who can customize a whitening process based on your individual circumstances. A dental checkup can also reveal if you are a good candidate for laser teeth whitening.
If are a good candidate, in-office tooth whitening can have dramatic and quick effects, sometimes brightening teeth up to eight shades in only one visit. Ask your Smiles Nambour dentist if teeth whitening treatments are a good choice for you, and you can face Valentine’s Day, and every day, with a bright, attractive smile.
“Regular” Habits That Can Amp Up Your Smile!
These tips will help you maintain dental health and a bright smile for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
Take care of your teeth AND tongue, daily! Almost everyone knows to brush their teeth twice daily and flossing at least once. But did you know that your tongue collects bacteria? Fight bacteria by giving your tongue a quick brush from the back to the front before you put the toothbrush down
Know when NOT to brush. Acidic foods, such as wine, juice, and soda, erode tooth enamel. This can lead to discoloration and sensitivity. Do not brush your teeth immediately after ingestion to prevent tooth weakening and discoloration.
Water your teeth? Whiter teeth are the holy grail for many dental patients. A simple step that dental patients can take to achieve a brighter smile is to drink a glass of water after meals. This will wash away bacteria and clean your teeth.
Keep your relationship with your dentist strong! Professional dental care is important, so visit your Smiles Nambour dentist at least twice a year to help ensure the health of your teeth.
