Happy Valentine’s day, people! So, do you have a date today? Are you celebrating a Valentine month like many across the world, or are your celebrations limited to the day? Whatever be the case, you should know that you need to impress not only your date but also your dentist if you want to keep smiling throughout your life.

Tips to impress your date today

• Brush after all your meals. This is the first step towards a healthy, problem-free smile.

• Make sure you spend at least 2-3 minutes on brushing. And yes, wait for an hour after a meal before picking up the toothbrush.
• Floss well today. This will help you clean the remote corners of your teeth.
• Clean your tongue. Scrape your tongue gently. Don’t scrape it too hard.
• Rinse your mouth after consuming anything. It is best not to leave any traces of food in your mouth.
• Drink 8 glasses of water throughout the day.

Tips to impress your dentist always

• Eat plenty of fiber. Go for a fruit than its juice.

• Consume foods rich in calcium, fluoride, vitamin C and vitamin D.
• Cut down on sugary foods.
• Do not use your teeth to open bottles.
• Do not grind or clench your teeth.
• Cut down on smoking.
• Visit your dentist every six months.
• Never ignore the slightest hint of an oral problem; visit your dentist immediately.
• Keep your dentist informed of all the medicines you take.
• Do let your dentist know if you are pregnant, diabetic, have a heart problem, or have any other health condition.

Have a great day and a fabulous year!

Happy smiling!
