Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums
The new year is a clean palette. It is a time to relax and set up New Year’s resolutions with goals to be attained throughout the year. This practice has existed for thousands of years and originated in Babylonia, which means a new beginning.

If you take your coffee, tea, or wine, consider drinking them using a straw, thus avoiding direct contact with your teeth. This small change can go a long way toward decreasing your probability of staining.
If you are interested in solutions beyond teeth whitening, cosmetic dental services have much to offer. The range of aesthetic work includes restoring chips and cracks and altering your teeth’ size, shape, and positioning. You can consider:
Smile makeover depends on each patient, and your dentist will be involved in coming up with the smile you desire by discussing with you what should be done or if you want a full change of your teeth, the whole smile.
Enhancing your smile is about enhancing your looks and dental health. If you want a pleasing smile, a nice method you could try is to brush and floss each day. Here are a few key behaviors to broaden:
Night grinding or bruxism is a condition whereby you unconsciously harm your smile in your sleep.
