A Valentine’s Day makeover for a great smile

The big V-day countdown has begun and you have just a few days to pull that magnetic smile you wanted to flaunt. Here are some simple solutions for a bright smile on this important occasion.

Teeth-whitening at your dentist’s office

Professional teeth whitening will promise you better results than any over-the-counter products. Moreover, if you are looking for faster results, the dentist’s office is the best place to be in. Some benefits of professional teeth whitening are:

• Expert supervision for strong whitening agents.
• Faster results.
• Your dentist will consider other tooth issues like tooth sensitivity, wearing out of enamel, etc. before initiating the process.
• Under careful application, whitening agents will be  applied evenly on all your teeth preventing any blotches.
• Dental cleanings can remove hard plaque along with decay-causing bacteria, buff out stains and freshen your breath  all in one sitting.

Some home-care tips for whiter teeth

• Try avoiding some stain-causing foods until Valentine’s Day. Coffee, wine and berries are the most common staining foods that we encounter on a daily basis. Fizzy drinks too are among the worst offenders when it comes to teeth staining. Avoid these and  make  way  for your sparkling whites.
• Brush or rinse your mouth after  every meal.
• Avoid  use of tobacco. Tobacco stains your teeth anyway, whether you chew it or smoke it.
• If you are sceptical about getting your teeth cleaned at a dentist’s you can use at-home whitening kits. The only disadvantage is that these cleaning agents may make your teeth sensitive, but things get better after the bleaching period gets over.
