Hi lovelies,
Your smile is something that matters. In fact, did you know that nearly 40% of Americans thought when they were asked about their smiles and if they made a difference to their personal lives. However, if you’re not happy with how your smile looks, then you are also not alone. Many people can feel unhappy with their smile, from having a smile that is too gummy or having teeth that are a little off-white in color.
Of course, there are things like cosmetic dentistry that you could try, if you are unhappy with your smile and need some major work to make a difference to your actual teeth, rather than anything else. But, if you’re looking for some ways to help to make your smile pop in other ways, then here are some of the things that you can try.
Keeping on top of your oral health is so important. So although this doesn’t sound like a super exciting way to help, if you want to look after your smile, then the small things each day can make a difference with regular maintenance. By brushing your hair at least twice a day, flossing your teeth, and using mouthwash, you can eliminate dirt and germs from infesting your teeth and causing any damage.
Choosing the right color lipstick can make a difference to how white your teeth look. For example, colors of lipstick that are quite warm, can make teeth look more yellow than they really are. Lipsticks that are made with more of a blue hue, such as a cold red in color, will help to make your teeth look more white when contrasted on your teeth. A simple trick but it can make a difference to the overall look of your smile.
There are certain foods and drinks that can cause problems for your teeth, not only through cavities, but through training of the teeth. Even if you have teeth that are quite white, then there are certain things that can stain your teeth over time. The most staining drinks are things like coffee and tea, as well as red wine. Of course, if you aren’t looking to reduce your intake of these, then there are some alternatives. For example, you could drink them through a straw, such as an iced coffee.
One of the steps that you can take to make your smile pop is to consider having teeth whitening. If one of the main concerns that you have about your smile is about the color of your teeth, then whitening can be the solution. It can be a good idea to speak to your dentist about what they can offer, as well as kits that you can whiten your teeth with at home.
Small changes can make a difference to your smile, but if you have concerns, then take the steps that you need to make sure that you are happy with your smile. Feeling good in yourself is so important, so do what you can to make your smile pop.
