There are countless methods we use to try and turn back the clock on our appearance.
Whether it’s hip wardrobes and hairstyles or costly cosmetic surgeries, people go to great lengths to recapture the look and feel of their youth. Despite all of these anti-aging fads and gimmicks, studies show your smile can make you look younger than anything else!
#1 Good Oral Hygiene Keeps Your Smile Looking Younger, Longer
The simplest thing you can do to keep Father Time at bay is to practice good oral hygiene habits. Brushing twice a day and flossing regularly promotes healthy teeth and gums and keeps your smile looking and feeling clean. If we ignore these simple habits, we put our smiles at risk of harmful bacteria which can lead to unsightly effects such as cavities, tooth discoloration or tooth loss, and periodontal disease.
Maintaining good oral health throughout your life doesn’t just preserve the appearance of your smile, but it can preserve your overall health too. Bleeding gums caused by periodontal disease can allow bacteria from your mouth to enter your bloodstream and affect other parts of the body. Research suggests gum disease can increase our risk for serious health problems, including…
- Diabetes
- Endocarditis and Cardiovascular disease
- Osteoporosis
- Strokes
- Alzheimer’s Disease
For a few tips on how to floss properly to fight off that harmful bacteria, check out the video below!
