Phuket Dental Clinic, Phuket Dentist Cosmetic and Phuket Implants By Sea Smile dental clinic Phuket.

Each morning, early TV shows or newspapers bombard us with stories of destruction, violence, and all sorts of negativity. On very rare occasions, we find news that brings positivity and hope in our lives. Why begin such a lovely day hearing or reading morose or sullen news that builds on our frustrations? Why don’t we give ourselves a break – Let’s begin our day with a Smile.

Just keep on smiling. Smile more often. If you want a smile on your face, think of something positive or read something funny. If something is preventing you from smiling, do something about it. If you are more accepting of situations, you will be able to smile more easily.

SCHEDULE A DENTAL VISIT

If it has been ages since you’ve last paid a visit to your dentist, you’re not alone. Not many people pay regular visits to their dentist on a regular basis. But booking an appointment is very essential if you want to maintain a healthy smile. Certain conditions such as tooth-sensitivity or bleeding gums are sure signs that it’s high time to visit your dentist. Even if you don’t see or feel anything wrong with your teeth, punch a reminder in your phone or notes for this month of January for a dental appointment.

PLEDGE TO FLOSSING

Tooth-brushing twice a day is good but that’s not enough to keep plaque from accumulating on your teeth and gums. Flossing is necessary as well as it can completely remove bits of food and dirt from your mouth, specifically in between spaces where your toothbrush cannot reach. If you’re not in the habit of flossing, then this start of the year is a great time to begin.

SWEET-AWARENESS

Recent studies show that there is a significant link between the amount of sugar that a person consumes and the amount of tooth decay that he/she has. Cutting back on sugar would considerably cut your risk for tooth decay. A convenient way to cut back on sugar is being aware of the sugary treats you are buying. Such awareness will help you cut back on your spending as well. Opt for sugar-free fluids instead of soda, or chew a piece of sugar-free gum when craving for something sweet.

DITCH THE HABIT

Smoking tobacco/cigarettes not only doubles your risk for gum disease, it can also link you to a host of other serious health issues. Pick a date and stick to give up the unhealthy habit. Get rid of any smoking products from your home and gather support from your family and friends to help you quit. Cravings will be a struggle so it’s very important to engage in a healthy activity or options when the craving kicks in.

FEED ON MOUTH-HEALTHY FOODS

Cutting back on sugar, as well as resolving to increase your intake of mouth-healthy foods reinforces your diet’s benefit to your teeth and gums. Dairy products are great for your teeth as they are rich in calcium, as are fibrous food that triggers up saliva to scrub away plaque and other food bits.
