Creating
a Beautiful Smile
A smile is one of the
most important things that makes you look your best. It shows
confidence and makes people want to be around you. Here are a
few tips to make your smile look its best.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is all
the craze right now. There are so many products to choose
from, but which ones really work. Most people suffer from
yellowish surface stains. Home whiteners do work well on these
types of stains. You can choose from strips, trays, pastes,
and gels. The higher concentration of peroxide or bleach and
the longer they stay on the teeth the better the product will work.
They do not harm teeth, but may cause sensitivity. If you have
overly sensitive teeth see you should consult a professional.
Trays and strips usually work best because the product stays on the
teeth longer. Mouth washes and toothpaste that claim to whiten
teeth will only help with very superficial stains because they are
not on the tooth long enough. But they do help in maintaining
whiter teeth after performing another whitening treatment.
If you want your teeth
whiter now or have more severe staining you may opt for an in office
treatment. This can be performed by a dentist or other
professional. Some companies even offer one hour treatments
through home parties and mall kiosks. These are strong
treatments that utilize light to make them work quickly. You
will have to be careful what you eat and drink for 48 hours after
the treatment and may want to also use an at home treatment like
strips to maintain your newly whitened teeth for the longterm.
Lip Care
Lips tend to get dry and
flaky and sometimes even crack in the winter time. Exfoliate
your lips by using a damp cloth or toothbrush, or use a product
designed to exfoliate the lips. Keep your moisturized with lip
balms will also help. Also, look for a lip stick with
moisturizer built in.
