Simple Day-To-Day Tips For Healthy Smiles

1. Simple Day-to-Day Tips for Healthy Smiles

2. A healthy smile is the secret to breaking your social and professional glass ceilings.

3. If you can find a way to smile more authentically throughout the day no matter what you are feeling, the results of your day will naturally get much more positive.

4. Here are some of the most effective and simple day-to-day tips for healthy smiles.

5. – First of all, carry floss in your pocket along with an apple.

6. Most have problems with their yearly dental checkups because they forget to floss.

7. If you carry floss around with you as a habit, this becomes a much less difficult task.

8. Carrying an apple gives you a twofold advantage when it comes to your smile: Snacking on an apple will keep you from snacking on potato chips and candy bars, improving your dental health overall.

9. The second reason is that if you really hate flossing, eating an apple is the next best alternative.

10. – Second, make your lunch at home.

11. The problem with many on- the-go foods is that they are meals overloaded with butter, salt and sugar.

12. All of these things are detrimental to your smile in the short term and in the long-term.

13. When you make your lunch at home, you will not succumb to the temptation to go out for lunch during the workday.

14. You will be able to monitor your diet much more effectively and keep salty and sugary foods out of your mouth too.

15. – Third, wear protective gear at night.

16. Many of the problems that people have with their teeth come from uncomfortable sleeping positions.

17. If you have any pain when you wake up in the morning, you may want to try a plastic mouth guard geared towards making sure that you do not grind your teeth during sleep.

18. Grinding your teeth can create many problems in your neck, head and back because your mouth is connected intricately to all three.

19. However, grinding your teeth also causes problems with your teeth themselves. Less tooth means less protective enamel.

20. Many cosmetic dentists and family dentists as well recommend that everyone wear a protective mouth guard, especially for the people who work at a stressful job or are going through an especially stressful time.

21. - Fourth, stay away from coffee and drink tea and fruit drinks in the appropriate manner.

22. Contrary to popular belief, even healthy beverages such as tea and fruit drinks can cause problems with your teeth.

23. In addition, the acid in many fruit drinks can wear away your teeth’s enamel, and often have chemicals in them that causes staining just as deeply as coffee does.

24. It is recommended that you always monitor what goes in your mouth. Moderate intake of coffee is enough to preserve those pearly whites’ appearance.

25. If at all possible, all fruit juices should be taken using a straw. Although, many find this a ‘not- so-common’ practice, but you have to ask yourself if looking "normal" is worth your smile when it comes down to it.
