TIPS FOR A GREAT SMILE
Are you doing all you can to make sure your smile is your best fashion statement? Follow these tips and get the best smile possible.
- Did you know your lipstick can make or break your smile…A yellow-based lipstick makes your teeth look yellowy, while one with a blue undertone makes your teeth look whiter? Go with cooler colors to make the most of your smile.
- Before gulping down coffee, red wine or dark sodas, consider the “white t-shirt” rule. If it’ll stain a white tee, it’ll stain your teeth. To minimize the discoloring effects of dark beverages, swish water in
between sips, and then brush as soon as possible afterward.
- Carry a “smile bag” in your purse. Your quick-fix pouch should contain lip balm, lipstick, floss, mints, toothbrush and paste. This way you’ll be prepared for those last-minute touch-ups.
- Visit the dentist. Be sure to schedule your dental checkups every six months. A good teeth cleaning and polishing keeps your smile free of serious conditions, and also removes stains for a whiter smile.
