5 Tips to Turn Back the Clock

How are your New Year's resolutions coming along? If you made a resolution to look younger, there's a way to reverse the years, look better and be healthier without going to the gym or resorting to surgery. Image

There is a lingering myth that a dull smile is caused by aging. Age has nothing to do with the appearance of your teeth, but your lifestyle, habit choices and health do.

It's well documented that someone with a dull smile is perceived to be less attractive, less interesting and unsuccessful. There is no need to be that person if you use these easy tips to turn back the aging clock.Image

1—Diet—Coffee, tea, red wine, colas, berries and grapes, for example, can discolor your teeth. When you consume them, follow up by brushing and flossing.
2—Nicotine—Tobacco products stain and darken your teeth as well as have a detrimental impact on your health. Our advice is to avoid tobacco products, but if you can’t, use rigorous oral care.
3—Oral care—There are many products to help you maintain a beautiful smile, especially whitening toothpaste that contains fluoride. Toothbrush bristles quickly wear out, so remember to buy a new soft-bristle toothbrush every three months. Brush at least twice daily and floss at least once daily.
4—Professional whitening—Our in-office whitening procedure can quickly turn your dull teeth into a brilliant, attractive smile.
5—Dental exams—It's important to have regular bi-yearly check-ups or more often if you are in treatment for a health condition that affects your oral tissues or we are treating you for a dental condition. We can identify even slight changes in your oral health when we see you on a regular basis and can get a head start on protecting your oral and overall health.

With those tips, you can have an ageless winner's smile, and that's no myth.
