In what is often considered a self-conscious society, looking and feeling good is an increasingly important aspect of life, for both young and old. Indeed, it is important to keep fit and healthy, whilst we all aspire to improve the way we look and feel in order to make good first and lasting impressions.
Of course, many factors influence how a person may look or feel; but a nice, healthy smile will be one of the primary features which are recognised in a person and can go a long way to making that good first impression.
It is not too uncommon for many people to be conscious of their smile. This can be for a number of reasons, but in most cases it is a minor imperfection which can usually be treated with an inexpensive and readily available option.
For some, teeth disfiguration is the main barrier to having – and enjoying – a nice smile. This is usually resolved through orthodontist treatment and may involve wearing a brace for some or all of the day. Much of this treatment is carried out on the NHS and although it may prove uncomfortable for patients in the short term, being able to see a long term goal of smiling with confidence should be enough to encourage teeth disfiguration to become a thing of the past.
Another popular – and nowadays inexpensive – way to improve your smile is through teeth whitening This should be arranged following consultation with your dentist but could involve home based techniques, as well as those which are carried out at the dental surgery. Home based techniques can include tray based whitening. This involves your dentist taking an impression of your teeth for you to insert into your mouth – much like a gum shield – which ensures the teeth whitening gel is applied to all of the correct areas in your mouth.
However, one of the most important methods to improving and maintaining a healthy smile is, of course, to brush your teeth on a regular basis. Therefore, consult your dentist for the most appropriate toothpaste for your needs, but you will probably find there are a number of quality teeth whitening toothpastes already available on the market. In addition, flossing regularly and using a good mouthwash is also recommended.
Whatever concerns you have regarding your teeth, it is important to keep in mind that a consultation with your dentist – as well as implementing a good brushing regime – can help put you on the road to achieving that smile you’ve always wanted.
