Dental Tips That Can Make You Look Younger

Is your smile making you look older than your years? We often think that the only telltale signs of age are gray or thinning hair or wrinkled skin, but the look and color of your teeth can also add years to your appearance.

1. A receding gum line
Gum disease becomes more common with age and can leave you looking a bit long in the tooth as your gums pull away from your teeth. The best way to avoid gum disease is to brush and floss after meals and to have regular dental exams and professional cleanings. If you do notice symptoms of gum disease, treatments are available and can stop the infection in its tracks and even restore gum health.

2. Damaged teeth
Chipped, worn, or otherwise damaged teeth can age even young smiles. Many restorative procedures are available, and you may be a candidate for dental bonding, inlays, onlays, tooth-colored fillings, porcelain crowns, or other restorations. Missing teeth can also be replaced.

3. Stains
A lifetime of coffee, tea, soda, and wine can leave their trace on your teeth. If your teeth are not as white as they once were, they may be aging your smile prematurely. Professional teeth whitening treatments can eliminate these stains and leave your teeth sparkling bright.

Your smile can be just as bright and beautiful as it used to be. In fact, it may even be able to be more beautiful than it was in the past. Give us a call today to learn more about available treatments or to schedule your appointment with our expert in teeth whitening in Hawthorne.
