Most of us agree that a shimmering, sparkling smile makes us look and feel better. If you’re keen to show off bright pearly whites this October, here are some tips:

1. Book a dental appointment: if you’re due a check-up, call now and book an appointment. When you have a dental check, your dentist will have a good look around for any potential symptoms or signs and they will also give your teeth a quick clean so that you leave with a shiny smile.
2. Curb your caffeine addiction: if you drink several cups of tea or coffee a day, your teeth will soon start to bear the brunt of your caffeine addiction. Both tea and coffee contain staining agents, which will dull your smile’s sparkle and discolour your teeth.
3. Use a straw: when you drink, this can contribute to discolouration of your teeth, so use a straw if you’re partial to cola, juice or wine.
4. Find out more about whitening: tooth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment, which lightens the shade of your enamel to give you a brighter, whiter smile. We offer home whitening and Enlighten professional whitening treatment. If you’re interested, just give us a call and we’ll tell you more!
5. Veneers: if you long for a flawless smile and you want to channel your favourite film or TV stars, veneers could be the choice for you. Veneers can be used to address a whole host of problems including chipped and worn teeth and gaps between the teeth, as well as staining.
