No smile is perfect if not for the pearly white teeth shining at the back. And to own such pearly whites does take effort and proper care. So here are some tips to help you achieve this perfect smile for any selfie from here onwards.
Brush twice
Remember your parents nagging you to brush before you go to bed even if you were dead tired and sleepy. Well this is actually to encourage the habit of brushing twice a day from your childhood days (brushing in the morning is a given fact, especially if you don’t want people running miles away from you!). This practice makes sure that any residue on your teeth doesn’t remain throughout and end up causing cavities in your mouth, making you a frequent visitor to many professional dentists. And so, it is recommended that you brush after every meal as well. But do make sure that you choose the right brush for this. One with smoother bristles would be ideal for the gums!
Use fluoride toothpaste
Unlike other kinds of toothpastes one with fluoride in them hardens your tooth enamel making sure that they don’t easily decay. This also guarantees that you wouldn’t be having your teeth falling out any time soon, and making appointments at cosmetic dentistry Lane Cove to fit in implants. So make sure you look for this ingredient when you are shopping for tooth paste, and not focus only on the whitening aspect and whatnot!
Brush right
Just rubbing the brush back and forth over your teeth doesn’t mean that you are doing the ‘brushing’ right. You need to first have the right brush with a head that is small enough to even reach the inside wisdom teeth too. Then take as much time as you want (so that’s like 2-3 minutes), and brush thoroughly! Go in circles or up and down with the bristles and get all that fluoride all over the teeth. This way they’ll never fall off, unless you do!
Limit the sugar
It is a given fact that sugar is not good for your teeth, so limiting the intake of this is necessary to make sure you wouldn’t be owning more cavities than you can count on your fingers. Limit the alcohol, coffee and tea as well. Especially if you don’t want them yellowing unnecessarily! In addition to the above, make sure that you are always careful when you are playing any sport that could put your teeth in harm’s way. And this means that you shouldn’t just disregard that teeth guard! So take better care of your teeth and be proud to show that smile to the whole world!
