5 Ways Your Dentist Can Help You Improve Yourself

September is self-improvement month. It’s understandable if this makes you consider joining a gym or starting a diet. But you can also improve yourself at the dentist. Trust us, you’ll feel much better about yourself if your smile looks and feels good!

If you need to make an appointment, call Manning Family Dentistry at 704-368-4507 today. In the meantime, see some of your options for self-improvement:

  • Get Regular Smile Maintenance – Getting regular exams and cleanings is one of the best things you can do for your smile – and fortunately one of the easiest too. For most patients we recommend getting these services every six months. A professional cleaning helps keep your mouth free of cavities and gum disease. Exams give your dentist the opportunity to identify issues that need to be addressed before they can do any serious damage. 
  • Learn & Practice Good Oral Hygiene – Routine hygiene visits are also a great time to learn how to take better care of your teeth and gums at home. Your hygienist and dentist will give you tips on brushing, flossing, and more. You’ll receive advice that is targeted to your specific needs. 
  • Enhance Your Smile’s AppearanceCosmetic dentistry is a great way to boost your self-confidence. You can correct discoloration with teeth whitening, hide flaws with veneers or bonding, or reshape your gumline with a gum contouring treatment. Your dentist will help you determine the best treatments to suit your lifestyle and budget. 
  • Replace Missing Teeth – Losing teeth affects your smile’s appearance and function. Plus, surrounding teeth can shift out of place, causing more problems. Fortunately, you’ve got good options for replacing missing teeth. For a feel and function that is almost exactly like natural teeth, your dentist can attach crowns or bridges to dental implants. If you’d rather not get implants, you can choose a standard bridge instead. 
  • Straighten Crooked Teeth – Misaligned teeth also affect how your smile looks and feels. You can straighten teeth with Invisalign. It’s a far more convenient and comfortable treatment than metal braces. Plus, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing the clear plastic aligners!
