It’s scientifically proven that having a good smile increases self-confidence, so take the opportunity to show your teeth some love.

Here are a few Tooth Doctor valentines tips to to ensure a smile to dazzle your date:

Brush regularly
It’s recommended to brush your teeth at least twice a day. After a meal, wait half an hour so as not to damage the softened enamel on your teeth, and then brush thoroughly for two to three minutes. Choose a toothbrush with a head that can reach the difficult places, and don’t forget to brush your tongue, as this is what causes bad breath.

Use toothpaste with fluoride

Fluoride strengthens the enamel, which is the hard, protective coating on our teeth. The enamel is also what makes the visible part of our teeth white in colour, so it’s important to look after it as best we can. Make sure to use a fluoride strong toothpaste to help build up the enamel and protect your teeth from damage and yellowing.

Avoid food that stains

There are a number of foods and drinks that are bad for our teeth, leaving stains, and causing them to lose their shine and become discoloured over time. Most of these are obvious, such as fizzy drinks, black coffee, and red wine. Others that you may not think of include soy sauce, and berries – red, black, and blue berries all contain a high amount of pigment that easily stain.

Use a home whitening kit

If you want to go the extra mile for a bright smile, than why not try using a home whitening kit to give them a boost? Good kits will take between a few days to a couple of weeks to be custom-made to fit your mouth, and you simply add a whitening gel to the shields and leave them in overnight. You will most likely begin to see results in 10 or so days.

Consider professional teeth whitening

Of course, the best way to guarantee the best, whitest smile is to have regular check ups and consultations with a dentist and hygienist, and to consider having cosmetic treatment, such as permanent whitening, or straightening.
