Most people work hard to take good care of their bodies to ensure good health. But a healthy smile is just as important to your well-being, and since this month is Thanksgiving and it is tradition to express gratitude for the things we love, remember your pearly whites. In fact, if you are looking for a reason to love your smile, we have three of them to share with you today.

#1 Self-Image: The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry conducted a Whitening Survey in 2012 and found that 99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset. In fact, 74% of the respondents felt that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances of having career success, and 96% of adults felt that an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to members of the opposite sex.

#2 Nutrition and Energy: Along with a positive self-image, your teeth provide a necessary function to your overall health. They grind the food you eat to provide nourishment to your body. In fact, proper saliva production along with your pearly whites break down these nutrients, helping to prevent diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, lower bloating and gas to improve your digestion. This process also helps with weight loss and give you energy by helping your body better absorb nutrients.

#3 Effective Communication: Your healthy smile also helps you speak and communicate with the people around you. This allows you to interact with friends, family, co-workers and all the people you interact with during a typical day. Daily interactions truly provide a vital service and you can thank your pearly whites for that!

If you are missing teeth, your entire jaw and face suffer. You smile will slip, your dimples will dip, and your demeanor will appear meaner. With the quality craftsmanship from our esteemed dentists at [practice_name], you smile will have never looked better. Our team can install dental implants into your gums and jawline, and return your visage to glory. Here are a few of added bonuses of dental implants:

– Bone loss prevention: Dental implants can prevent bone loss.
– Stability: Dental implants can prevent shifting caused by bone loss.
– Natural-looking: Dental implants mimic natural teeth.
– Aesthetics: Dental implants can give you a better smile.
– Facial reconstruction: Dental implants can return a face to its original shape prior the lost tooth.
– Strengthen jawbone: Dental implants can strengthen the jawbone, which becomes weak and can deteriorate when teeth are not held in place for support.
– Durability: Dental implants can last a lifetime.
– Osseointegration: The bones around the implant can strengthen to hold the implant tighter via a process known as osseointegration.
– Normal eating habits: You can return to your normal eating habits with dental implants.

Your braces are designed to realign your teeth through the course of regular adjustment sessions. If any part of your braces is damaged or if you develop cavities on multiple teeth, it will likely increase the amount of time it takes to achieve your ideal smile. With that in mind, there are a few different oral hygiene tools that can help you clean the hard-to-reach places around your braces.

Interdental brushes have small-angled brush heads that can help you brush between wires and brackets and remove food particles from where your teeth meet the gums. They are especially handy for getting small food particles out of bands and spacers.

You might want to try using a floss threader if you’re having issues flossing between your teeth and around the gumline. This a simple loop-shaped tool that is loaded with waxed dental floss and can help you floss around the wires and other hardware.

Dental water jets come in a variety of brands with minute changes in design. They all generate a focused stream of water that can help loosen and wash away food particles from hard-to-reach places. Just keep in mind that this is not a viable alternative to flossing.

If you have a question about how to best clean and maintain your braces in [city], [state], you can always call [practice_name] at [phone] to seek further advice from your dentist, Dr. [doctor_name].
