Teeth may not get fine lines and wrinkles, but they certainly do show signs of aging. Smile, being the first feature to grab the attention of around 50% people also requires its share of pampering and touchups.
Therefore, if you are going for the younger and healthier look, you will have to begin brushing and flossing daily and visiting your dentist twice a year. However, even the most careful of measures may not prove successful in concealing the teeth’s natural aging process and this is where your dentist comes to the rescue, taking around 10 to 15 years off your physical appearance. Following are some of the ways your dentist can make you look younger.
- WHITEN YOUR TEETH:
Just as bright eyes add a sparkle to your personality and appearance, a set of white, shiny choppers are also as important for boosting your youthfulness. However, as we age and because of the consumption of certain foods and drinks, like coffee, wine and colas, our teeth tend to discolor and become prone to yellowing, requiring professional assistance to bring back the whiteness. A dentist can well do that and bring that shine back in no time.
- LEVEL YOUR TEETH:
Uneven, chipped, dark rooted and gapped teeth can make you look older than your actual age. The procedure of bonding, which involves a white filling material, helps fix those minor issues with your teeth’s appearance.
- STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH:
Crooked or crowded teeth can at times significantly add years to your appearance as they make the mouth more vulnerable to gum recession, tooth decay and premature tooth loss. Your dentist can straighten your teeth out and take off 10 to 15 years from your look.
These are some of the ways in which your dentist can make you look younger. Surely, this gives you a few good reasons to not miss your checkups.
