Look and feel your best with a Valentine’s Day smile
A dental visit before Valentine’s Day can help give you a winning smile. Not only can we whiten your teeth, but we can also help you with cavities and bad breath.
Teeth whitening
A professional teeth whitening treatment can give you a reason to smile. A dentist uses teeth whitening products that can make your teeth even whiter than their natural color. It depends on what you want.
If you prefer a home treatment, combine lemon juice with baking soda. After brushing one or two times a week for a few weeks, you should see a difference.
Get rid of bad breath
While mouth wash and breath mints are a temporary fix, there are often dental issues behind bad breath. Cavities and plaque are two common sources. Getting your cavities filled and teeth cleaned can help. So can eliminating coffee. In addition, smokers often have bad breath, and if you smoke, consider quitting. Furthermore, brushing several times a day and flossing can eliminate food particles that cause odors.
Pay attention to diet
Some foods tend to stain your teeth, detracting from your bright smile. Red wine, tea, coffee, fruit juices, red beets and other foods can stain teeth, and so can smoking. It helps to rinse out your mouth after eating these foods.
Also, make sure to brush several times a day and avoid strong-smelling foods. You can still enjoy your romantic Valentine’s Day dinner without affecting your breath and tooth color.
Schedule your dental visit before Valentine’s Day
The good news is that having a romantic day can also be a healthy dental day. Keeping your teeth healthy through proper dental hygiene contributes to your overall health and well-being. Not only will you feel like smiling, but you’ll have a bright smile to show.
