If you’ve had dental treatment and you’ve got a stunning new smile, here are 5 steps you can take to protect your pearly whites this September:
- Book a dental check: regular dental checks are important for your dental health, but they can also help to ensure that your teeth look beautiful for years to come. If you haven’t been to see us for a while, what are you waiting for?
- Brush your teeth properly: most people know that they should brush their teeth twice a day, but sometimes, it can be tempting to do half a job, especially if you’re tired. Always make the effort to spend just 2 minutes cleaning your teeth and try and do a thorough job every time. Brushing your teeth isn’t just important for your dental health. It’s also beneficial for your overall health.
- Wear a mouth guard: if you’re playing sport, wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If there’s any risk of dental injury, it’s better to be safe than sorry. We recommend mouth guards for team sports such as rugby and hockey and fighting sports like boxing and wrestling.
- Use a straw: if you have bright white, beautiful teeth, using a straw can help to reduce the risk of discolouration, especially if you’re drinking strongly coloured drinks like cola.
- Clean between your teeth: when you brush, you can only cover the accessible surfaces of the teeth, so it’s also hugely beneficial to clean between your teeth with floss or inter-dental brushes.
