Want a Brilliant Smile? Tips for Making it Happen!
Maintaining an aesthetically pleasing smile is essential to your confidence, your physical appeal, and your overall well-being. It is certainly important to visit with your St. Petersburg Dentist once every six months yet there is plenty you can do on your own to work on getting a brilliant smile. Get into the habit of taking excellent care of your teeth and gums every single day and it won’t be long until you notice a meaningful improvement in the look of your smile.
Floss With Care
Flossing is essential to remove the plaque and tartar that builds up between the gums and teeth. Flossing and visits to the dentist are the sole means of removing these particles. Once all the plaque is knocked away from areas between your teeth, the chances of gum disease and tooth decay will dramatically decrease. A mouth free of gum disease and tooth decay will not only be healthier but brings you one step closer to a brilliant smile.
The manner in which you floss your teeth is just as important as the frequency. You should floss at least once per day. When flossing, use a separate piece of floss for the upper teeth and lower teeth. Shift the floss as you clean between the teeth to prevent the movement of bacteria, food particles, and other gunk from one tooth to the next.
Eat and Drink Responsibly
Certain foods and beverages like coffee, tea, soda, and juice can stain the teeth. If you absolutely have to indulge in one of these foods or beverages, try to clean your teeth as soon as possible so the staining doesn’t remain any longer than necessary.
Brush Properly
Your approach to brushing your teeth goes a long way in determining the beauty of your smile. If possible, brush your teeth after each meal. At a bare minimum, brush in the morning and evening. Invest at least two minutes in brushing so your teeth can look their best.
