That's what Lady Gaga says…and my dentist!!!
Who doesn’t like flashing a great smile? Especially when you have beautiful teeth to show off. Smiling is healthy. :)
What makes me smile?
My family. My friends. And being myself…which is the easiest job ever. Not being myself…now that’s a lot of work!
Humor also makes me smile. My friend makes me grin from ear to ear when she says funny things. Like when I told her I was going back east for the holidays and staying with my sister and she said, "you know what they say, fish and guests should leave in three days!" And that's exactly how long I stayed!!! Haha!
Clean and bright teeth make me smile too. Once every six months use Opalescence (directed by your dentist) using your upper and lower mouth molds or try the WhiteStrips by Crest. I have never tried the strips but I’ve been told they can brighten up a smile in a pinch!
It has also been said that in order to keep your teeth white, one (the proverbial “one”) should minimize coffee and red wine. However, those are vices of mine that will not be left behind. :)
Another tooth tip: I have really tight teeth so floss sometimes doesn’t get in between my back teeth so it is recommended to use the Proxabrush by GUM which is a brush that goes in between the teeth and cleans. It’s a cumbersome task but someone has to do it! This is to prevent gingivitis, too. Nothing ginger about that!
And of course, don’t forget to visit your dentist every six months to get those pearly whites…well…pearly white!
Happy holidays and don’t forget to say cheese!
