While there are many things in life that can be chalked up to luck, a great smile isn’t one of them. Sure, you might get a slight head start with the luck of genetics. A fantastic smile requires a certain level of care – from you and from trusted dental professionals. They say teamwork makes the dream work, and that certainly holds true when it comes to harnessing your most stellar smile. Here are some tips and ideas to get your best smile possible.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss / use mouthwash once a day.
- Don’t brush too aggressively. Remember that your gums are delicate and need a little finesse. Brush gently in small circular motions.
- Stay away from super sugary foods and drinks and lean toward water instead.
- Avoid chewing tobacco and smoking.
- See your dentist every 6 months for a proper cleaning and oral exam.
- Make sure you’re getting fluoride. It helps rid your teeth of decay which can cause cavities.
Beyond the care you can do at home, your dentist can also offer some solid ways to further enhance your smile, including:
Teeth whitening. At Clearwave Dental we offer both in-office and at-home treatment that use professional grade whitening solutions. The high concentration bleaching gels we offer are not available over the counter and completely illuminate your smile.
Dental implants. If you’re looking to perfect your smile by fixing a gap or broken tooth, dental implants can do the trick!
Dental crowns. Need to strengthen damaged, chipped or discolored teeth? Dental crowns can serve as little protectors by covering damage and enhancing your smile.
