History of World Smile Day:

Some Tips to Get a Beautiful Smile:

Your smile is usually one of the first things that people notice about you. Some people are born with naturally beautiful teeth, but a healthy smile isn’t something that is achieved overnight for most people. It takes a lifetime to maintain a beautiful healthy smile.

The following tips for a beautiful smile are some simple things you can do:

• Brush & Floss Your Teeth Twice a Day: The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush and flossing daily in between teeth to keep plaque at bay.
• Cleaning your tongue with a tongue scraper or toothbrush: Can help to remove bad breath caused by bacteria and food debris on your tongue.
• Rinse with mouthwash: Mouthwash does more than make your breath smell fresh. It also protects your teeth and gums by killing bacteria that can lead to gum disease. Rinse at least once a day for 30 – 60 seconds for optimal results.
• Eat healthy: While sugary treats are great occasionally, eating too many can lead to cavities and tooth decay. Focus on eating healthy fruits and vegetables as often as possible to promote healthy teeth and gums. When you do eat or drink a sweet treat, brush immediately after to remove excess sugar.
• Limit your coffee, tea, and red wine: Those Drinks are known for staining teeth. Like smoking, these drinks can build up a superficial stain that your dentist or hygienist can polish off. Drinking through a straw can help reduce the strain on your teeth and may help reduce the risk of tooth decay.
• Form good habits: It can take some time before you start to notice changes from whitening or improved oral hygiene. But it will be both for the sake of your smile and your overall health.

Regular Ways to Improve Your Smile:

If you’d like to get that wonderful smile of yours in better shape, here are some ideas:

• Clean your teeth professionally: In Bloomfield Dental Center, we will make sure that you’ll get the best Teeth Cleaning, your teeth cleaned is one of the best things you can do to prevent dental disease. Dental plaque makes your teeth look dull and dingy and can lead to gum disease and cavities. A professional cleaning to rid your teeth of any built-up plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) with a follow-up polish can help your teeth look great!
• Brighten up your smile: You can turn up the brightness volume on your teeth with a tooth whitening application. There are whitening products you can buy over the counter, but for best results see one of our professional Dentists in  Bloomfield Dental Center for a Professional Teeth Whitening. Dentists can better control the degree of brightness and their professional-grade solutions often last longer.
• Upgrade your teeth’s appearance: You may have a great-looking smile—except for that chip, discoloration, or slight gap between a couple of teeth. There are several ways, many quite affordable, to improve your Teeth’ appearance. In Bloomfield Dental Center, our specialist Dentists can bond the color-matched composite resin to your teeth to “fill in” chips or other blemishes. And a Veneer, a thin layer of porcelain bonded to the face of a tooth, can mask mild to moderate dental blemishes.
• Visit us regularly: Something as simple as going to your dentist twice a year is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your smile. Aside from checking for cavities and oral diseases, and doing routine cleaning, our Dentists can also provide other options for making your smile even brighter.

Technical Ways to Improve Your Smile:

• Braces: While Orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have Braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or “invisible braces,” or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.
• Crowns & Bridges: Crowns and Bridges is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.
• Implants: Dental Implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges that blend in with your other teeth and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.
• Ask Our Dentist for Dental Hygiene Tips: We hope these Dental Hygiene tips will enable you to flash a healthy smile.
