Healthy food choices can make for a healthy smile. Foods high in Vitamin D, calcium and phosphorous will strengthen teeth. Vitamins A and C are important for healthy gums. Limiting sweet foods can help, especially avoiding sticky foods that stay in the mouth longer. Cosmetic approaches can dramatically improve your smile.
Braces can straighten teeth and are available to children and adults.
Bonding, crowns and veneers can change the shape and colour of a tooth or fill in gaps, chips or cracks. Bridges or implants can be used to replace missing teeth. Keep brushing and flossing to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Preventing gum disease will make your smile more attractive. If you have tender or swollen gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, a visit to the dentist may be needed.
