Dental Tips to Make Your Smile Shine for the New Year
The year is still relatively new, giving you ample time to make some resolutions. The beginning of a new year is a good time to think of ways to give your dental health a boost. Setting goals to take care of your dental health is great for your overall wellness.
Getting a fresh start and an opportunity to do things right will help you feel much better. Here are dental tips to make your smile shine for the new year.
Good Oral Hygiene Habits
Brushing and flossing every day will help keep your teeth and gums healthy. Failing to take care of your oral health will result in the accumulation of acid, bacteria, and plaque. Apart from creating an ugly film or coat on your teeth, tartar can lead to cavities and tooth decay.
Poor oral hygiene will also lead to bad breath. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid aggressive brushing. Regular professional dental cleaning and whitening will help enhance your smile.
Stay Away From Tobacco
You have heard it countless times, but you need to hear it again: smoking is bad for you. Smoking and using tobacco products are harmful not just for your physical health but also for your oral health. You cannot maintain your bright smile if you continue to smoke.
You must deal with bad breath. Smoking stains the teeth over time, even with a daily brushing routine. Chewing tobacco will not only stain your teeth, but it can also cause jaw and lip cancer.
Limit Your Coffee Intake
You may love your daily coffee habit, but unfortunately, your favorite beverage is bad for your teeth. Even with your best efforts, coffee can stain your teeth. You do not have to give up the mocha altogether—just limit your intake.
If you want to substitute coffee for tea, you need to know that tea is just as bad. Make your smile shine this year by avoiding or limiting the beverages. Avoid or limit the consumption of red wine and soda.
Eating a Healthy Diet
You are what you eat in many ways! Changing your diet can help boost your oral health. Eat foods that are rich in calcium to strengthen your enamel. You can get calcium from dairy and other food sources.
You should also include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fatty fish as part of your diet. Avoid hard, sticky, and crunchy foods that are bad for the teeth. Avoid sugar, and that includes the sugar in fruit juices.
Get a Smile Makeover
You can make your smile shine all year round with a smile makeover. The dentist will check your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy. The dentist can also help enhance your smile through professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and other dental procedures.
If you have teeth alignment problems, talk to your dentist about orthodontic treatment to improve your smile. The treatment can help deal with issues such as gaps and crooked teeth. Regular dental appointments are the best way to maintain your oral health.
