We are conscious of the fact that there are numerous misinformative articles and this is why we would like to provide you a well prepared article and offer you 5 unexpected dental care tips. 

5 Dental Tips that you Might Not Know

1. A Healthy Smile is More Important than a “Perfect” Smile

You are the only one that can define what is beautiful to you, but you must remember that a healthy smile is at the same time beautiful and attractive. Everyone’s smile is what makes him special. For us, the most fundamental thing about our patient’s smile is to be healthy enough in order to last for a lifetime and simultaneously make you feel self-confident about it. 

This is the reason why, on your first visit to the dentist you will be asked about the things that you prefer and like about your smile as well as if there is something that you want to change about it. Although, our duty is to inform you about the things that you need to do and at the same time to make you understand what happens with your oral and dental health. Moreover, the dentist’s duty is to inform you and provide you with several options in order to decide which is the best solution for your personal needs.

2. The most Important Dental Treatments are those Followed at Home

You should be aware of the fact that the most essential thing to do in order to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy is to be always vigilant about brushing and flossing. General checkups with the dentist are recommended twice a year – which means just 2 days out of 365 days. This leads to the fact that home dental treatments are fundamental for your oral and dental health. 

The best thing you can do in order to keep your smile healthy and bright is to keep following a great dental hygiene routine at home which includes brushing and flossing on a regular basis. Routine cleanings are essential to saving you money and future dental problems which might bother you for a long period of time.

3. It is more Important to Have Properly Aligned Teeth than Perfectly Straight Teeth 

Certainly, this is what it is really worth about your teeth. Having nice, straight as well as evenly spaced teeth does not mean that you are also going to have a properly aligned bite. Thus, this is one of the most essential things – biting properly. 

Several signs that may lead you to the fact that you are in need of an orthodontic treatment include difficulty in chewing or biting of your lips or cheek, crowding or extra spacing between your teeth, clenching or grinding, headaches or even protruding teeth. In addition, shifting teeth can also be a sign of periodontal or gum disease.

4. We Check your Gums Because We Care About Your Oral Health

You must already know that gum disease affects about 58 percent of all people around the age of 30. You should know that your gums are the keystone for your teeth. Below we are going to list shortly some other dental procedures that undoubtedly require healthy gums:

• Braces
• Invisalign
• Orthodontic treatments
• Dental implants
• Teeth whitening 
• Dental bridges & partials
• Dental Veneers

Some of the risk factors of gum diseases, include:

• Genetics
• Age
• Certain medical conditions
• Medications
• History of smoking
• Not flossing your teeth enough

5. You Should NOT Over-Whiten your Teeth

It is well known that white and bright teeth can be beautiful and attractive. Whitening procedures that are performed in dental clinics and at home are common ways that people choose in order to transform their smile and feel more confident with it. 

However, sometimes it is possible to have too much whitened teeth. During whitening procedures, both in the dental clinic and at home, there are some agents used which can actually harm your teeth. Over-bleaching can result in utmost sensitivity, gum irritation as well as soft-tissue chemical burns. Moreover, it can wear away the protective enamel of your teeth and this, as a result, will make your teeth more susceptible to tooth decay.

Even the tooth whitening procedure that is completed in a dental clinic, will need some touch up treatments and you must know that repeat sessions are really common to happen. The tooth whitening procedure that we complete in our dental clinic comes with an examination which will help us be certain that your teeth and gums are healthy enough in order to proceed. However, we will also provide you some tips which can also keep your teeth as white as possible, without having the necessity of over-doing things.
