Tips for a Beautiful Smile
With World Smile Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to review some key tips for maintaining a beautiful smile. The best way to keep your smile beautiful is by caring for your teeth and gums all year long. Here’s how:
- Brush properly: We recommend brushing for a minimum of two minutes, twice per day. If you use a manual toothbrush, be sure not to press too hard and opt for a brush with soft bristles. For even better results, consider switching to an electric toothbrush, which provides a more thorough cleaning.
- Don’t skip flossing: It is also important that you floss daily to ensure that lingering food and bacteria are being removed from between the teeth and along the gum line. If you have any questions on how to floss your teeth, we are more than happy to help give you tips and a demonstration.
In addition to your at-home care, we recommend visiting our office every 4 to 6 months for an oral hygiene examination. During this appointment, we’ll clean your teeth thoroughly and check for any issues such as decay, gum disease, or signs of oral cancer. If we recommend dental treatment, it is important that you schedule your appointment as soon as possible to prevent further complications. During these appointments, you can also discuss any cosmetic changes you’d like to make to enhance your smile!
If you’re due for a cleaning or have concerns about your oral health, we’re here to help. Our office is conveniently located on the Upper East Side, and our team is ready to assist you. We hope you spend October 4th spreading smiles—and we can’t wait to see yours during your next visit!
