Your smile can mean
the difference between a first date and a second, and meeting a new friend or
gaining an amazing opportunity. Dr. Strutz suggests, "flash those pearly whites as often as possible
to the world around you." But if you’re embarrassed by your smile it may
decrease the opportunities coming your way. Individuals who do not smile are
associated with negative personality traits, while people who smile attract
more people to them. Here are seven ways
to improve your smile and your self-confidence.
1.
Visit the dentist if you have excessive plaque
or decay. A thorough dental cleaning and polish may be all that is needed to
bring your smile back to its shining, white glory days.
2.
Fix broken or cracked teeth. Keeping your
natural teeth healthy is worth the
investment.
3.
Periodontal disease should be treated in order
to stop the progression of the disease, which impacts both your gums and the
bone supporting your teeth. Periodontal disease left untreated can lead, not
only to problems in your mouth, but also other health concerns as well.
4.
Brush and floss regularly. There is no
substitute to brushing and flossing your teeth on a regular basis. Food builds
up on the surface of the teeth and can cause a host of problems. Disease can
move beyond the gum line and cause red, swollen and puffy gums thus decreasing
the healthy look of your smile. Dr. Strutz says, "brushing and flossing is the key component of
reducing and minimizing problems with your smile."
