5 Ways To Improve Your Smile

Written By Kassandra Foreman / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

The way to a beautiful smile starts with creating a healthy smile. Healthy teeth will maintain their color and strength, and when things do happen there are many treatment options available.

Everything from food choices to brushing, flossing, and correct toothpaste choices can affect your teeth and your smile.  Maintain regular dental visits, drink lots of water, and seek dental care when necessary.

Healthy Teeth For A Healthy Smile

The basis for a great smile of course starts with healthy teeth. To maintain healthy teeth brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. This will keep plaque build-up from forming and keep teeth healthy, keep them from staining, and help avoid cavities and fillings.

Avoid Staining Products For A Healthy Smile

Foods and beverages like coffee, red wine, grapes, and beets can all stain teeth with their acids and dark colors. While some staining can be removed with whitening products, not all will and you may end up with permanently stained brown or pink teeth.

Smoking also discolors teeth and adds to their decay, so quitting caffeine, wine, and smoking can help to improve your smile. Water and some dairy products can help to keep teeth clean, help the saliva do its work, and help to keep stains and fillings at a minimum.

Teeth Whitening Products For A Healthy Smile

When deciding on a product to whiten teeth there are so many products and methods that it can be complicated to find the right ones. A consultation with your dentist can help.

Bleaching products should be used as directed to avoid weakening the teeth and enamel. There are options for both dental office use and home use, and something for almost any budget, so ask all the questions you have before choosing which one is the right fit for you.

Quality Toothbrush For A Healthy Smile

Always choose a quality toothbrush to be sure it is removing debris, build-up, and plaque. A soft-bristle brush is most often recommended to gently remove food from on and between the teeth. Along with flossing every day, brushing is the most important part of keeping a good smile.

Retainers, Braces, Crowns And Veneers For A Healthy Smile

When teeth are misaligned they can be adjusted with a retainer or braces, which can improve the alignment of teeth and boost confidence for a brilliant smile.

For strong discolorations, damaged teeth, chipped teeth, and gaps, there are a few choices for creating a new smile. Crowns can be created to go over teeth for a more uniform look and cover any breaks or chips.

In other situations a veneer can be placed over the tooth and attached for a permanent way to improve the uniformity of teeth color and shape. They are made from material to match the shade of the teeth around them.

There are many ways to improve your smile. Whitening products, regular dental care, dental appliances, and diet will all help to achieve the smile you want.
