If you look good, you feel
good. If you feel good, you do good. You've heard it a million times before,
but have you ever really listened? Like many old-fashioned recipes for
success, this simple adage has the ring of truth. That's why many people
are investing time and money in themselves - to become more fit, more
aware, more attractive.
Even if your lifestyle wont
allow you to hit the gym on a regular basis, you can still hit the ground
running in your head start to look and feel better. Teeth whitening takes
only a minimal investment of your time, and the rewards are well worth
it. Today's modern teeth whitening techniques are safe and effective when
undertaken in the professional environment of our dental office.
Life's little lapses like tea,
coffee, smoking, or red wine can gradually leave surface stains that are
easy to remove. Just getting older or inheriting a darker tooth color
can also dim your smile. Some smiles have lost their sparkle due to root
canal treatments, fluorosis, or tetracycline use.
Teeth whitening is fast becoming
the first therapy of choice for millions of people just like you. For
a brighter whiter smile, please give us a call. There's nothing oldfashioned
about it.
Flossing
The Three-Minute Daily Commitment
We all know that we need to
brush, floss, and rinse. Even so, most of us only brush about one-third
of the recommended time, and most of us treat flossing as something that
we don't have time for. Flossing removes plaque and bacteria from between
teeth and below the gumline where your toothbrush just can't go, thereby
preventing periodontal disease, a serious threat to your oral health.
A survey indicates that 3/4
of respondents eat twice or more a day at work. Interestingly, only 14%
cleaned their teeth there - in spite of the fact that 90% thought that
a healthy smile was important to a person's appearance.
Make flossing a daily habit
by flossing after lunch - a good way to establish a routine. Choose a
floss that
works best for you - thick or thin, flavored or unflavored, waxed or unwaxed.
Just get it done every day!
" Take about eighteen
inches of floss and wrap it securely around your middle fingers-without
cutting off your circulation, please!
" Hold your index finger firmly, and leave about half an inch length
of floss between them.
" Then gently ease the floss between your teeth. Be sure to press
tightly against each side of each tooth, forming a C shape.
" Ease the floss up and down several times, and go below the gumline
where all the bacterial action is.
" When you hear a little squeak, you'll know the plaque is gone.
