How To Make Your Smile Appear Younger

Studies show that smiling with nice teeth makes people look more attractive and several years younger!

We all want to look young, fit and healthy but years of grinding, chewing and eating certain foods can leave your smile looking yellow and neglected. Here are some tips for a younger looking smile.

1. Avoid staining your teeth. Smoking, drinking dark liquids and eating dark foods can leave your teeth looking discoloured and stained which can add years onto your smile. Tea, coffee, red wine, curries and tomato based sauces are some of the common culprits so reduce your intake of these things. Seeing a hygienist for regular scale and polish appointments is important to keep gums healthy but they can also remove all the staining.
2. Whiten your teeth. To go one step further, tooth whitening is a great way to remove stubborn stains and lift your teeth many shades lighter. Tooth whitening is the simplest way to get a big improvement in how your teeth look and results can be achieved in a short amount of time. Remember to always see a dental professional for this treatment.
3. Have missing teeth replaced. Many people are missing teeth due to decay or gum problems and the gaps left behind can be aging. There are many ways we can replace missing teeth including implants, bridges and dentures depending on the individual patient.
4. Have crooked teeth straightened. Crooked and uneven teeth can add years to your smile. Orthodontic treatment, in particular short – term orthodontics, are becoming increasingly popular among adults. In just a matter of weeks, teeth can be realigned making them much more aesthetically pleasing.
