Changing hairstyles, clothes and make-up are just some of the elements of their appearance that people will change to try and make themselves look younger. All of these can make a difference, especially when put together. These are though, relatively easy changes to make which is good when you are only trying things out, but what if you want to go a bit further and really go for something that could take years off you.
Teeth are often a tell-tale sign of telling how old someone is, for as we get older our teeth tend to become more exposed to the things they shouldn’t be like tea, coffee and sugar. Also as we get older and move away from home we don’t have our parents shouting at us telling us to watch what we eat and to brush our teeth before we go to bed! Teeth can be in good condition but be discoloured or stained, the good news is that there are many cosmetic treatments available that can sort exactly these sorts of problems.
To rid yourself of stained teeth the best solution is laser whitening. It’s a cosmetic dental treatment that takes about an hour and it’s totally pain free. A whitening gel is applied to the teeth and a laser is used to activate the gel and start the whitening process. It’s a great quick fix for those who want a boost before a big event or party, but what if your teeth need a little more work, what options are there?
Tooth whitening isn’t always enough and for those who have more serious dental problems, such as broken teeth or misaligned teeth there are also cosmetic options available. For example, if a broken tooth can’t be saved and needs to be extracted it can be replaced with a modern dental implant. Implants both look and function like a natural tooth, they are also more realistic in terms of appearance and colour thanks to the modern techniques used to create and fit them.
To keep your teeth looking good it is never too late to review and improve on your daily dental care routine. Brushing twice a day should be the very least you do, integrating flossing and mouthwash can lead to keeping your teeth healthy and looking young. Coupled with regular visits to the dentist you should have teeth that will be the envy of all of your peers and a smile that will take years off your age.
Many people will find that once they have had a smile makeover they have an increased level of self confidence. This in many cases will lead to them being more outgoing and attending events that they may have shunned before – leading an active lifestyle can also lead to the years falling off and is a fun of way of staying fit and healthy, the only sure fire way to stay looking young.
