From highly anticipated vacations to beautiful weddings, the warmer months are often jam-packed with events that will have you reaching for the camera. When you look at the pictures, you certainly don’t want to focus on stained, chipped, or otherwise imperfect teeth over the memories. That’s why now is the perfect time to transform yours! Keep reading to learn four tips for achieving a summer-ready smile.
Tip #1: Schedule Your Biannual Dental Checkup
To keep your smile happy and healthy, it’s of the utmost importance that you visit your dentist every six months. So, if you haven’t had your first dental checkup of 2022 or your second one isn’t on the calendar, then now is the time to schedule it! Doing so will allow your dentist to remove surface stains, check the condition of your existing restorations, screen for oral cancer, and much more.
Tip #2: Ask Your Dentist About Professional Teeth Whitening
The team at NS Photobook can whiten your teeth when they are editing your wedding photos, but wouldn’t it be better to actually have a bright, white smile? Once your dentist has confirmed that your smile is decay-free, you should inquire about professional teeth whitening! With customized take-home trays from your dentist, you can blast away dental discoloration in as little as a few weeks. That way, your smile is beaming whether you’re taking a selfie with friends or are being photographed professionally by a photographer at a wedding.
Tip #3: Replace Your Toothbrush
Did you know that you’re supposed to replace your toothbrush every three months? So, if you haven’t gotten a new one since March, now is the time! Neglecting to do so is like using a dirty sponge to clean dishes — it simply doesn’t work as well.
Tip #4. Maintain a Solid Oral Hygiene Routine
Whether you’re working through the summer or traveling out of town, it’s of the utmost importance that you maintain a solid oral hygiene routine. Doing so will help prevent cavities, gum disease, and the like from derailing your summer plans. Plus, consistently brushing and flossing will help keep your teeth nice and white!
Photos should capture a beautiful moment in time. Unfortunately, some of that magic is taken away if all you can think about is how much you wish you could change your smile. So, don’t let that happen! Get your smile summer-ready by scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dentist today.
