Cosmetic dentistry has become quite popular recently. Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and crowns, new dental implant procedures and invisible braces are just a few of the latest achievements of cosmetic dentistry industry.
A recent study of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has shown that almost all people find that an attractive smile is an important asset and that yellow or stained teeth are among the first things people notice.
There are simple and cheap teeth whitening sets for home use available at the drug stores but they are not as affective as a power bleaching at the cosmetic dentist. However, dental cosmetic treatments can be very pricey. Tooth whitening for $600 and up, porcelain veneers for $800 and more per tooth.
Sometimes simple and cheap things can make a difference. The right food can make your teeth whiter and healthier while the wrong food makes yellow or stained teeth. Some foods can even remove stains and bacteria from teeth.
Strawberries and lemons can naturally whiten teeth. Drinks which are not good for your teeth are coffee and red wine for example or any drinks with much sugar and strong dark color. Tobacco can also stain your teeth.
Our saliva is a powerful cleaner, especially when combined with the fibers of foods like pears, apples, carrots, celery, cucumbers or cauliflower. Make use of sugar free gums as often as possible, ideally after a meal when you don’t have the possibility to brush your teeth. Chewing stimulates salvia and cleans teeth.
Eating raw vegetables removes stains over time. To remove stain you can also brush your teeth with baking soda, but not more than twice a month to avoid injury of the enamel.
Eating the right food is no replacement for brushing your teeth frequently of course. You should also visit your dentist at least twice a year to get a professional cleaning that removes tobacco and food stains.

It’s a wonderful sunny morning here. I have just watched the sun rise over the headland, and am amazed at how still and calm the water is in the bay. It is really unusual for us to get such calm water here; after all I am on the Isle of Man, in the middle of the Irish Sea. It reminds me of an old English phrase – that the water is as still as a mill pond. Everything is peaceful and serene and bathed in bright morning sunlight. Everyone else in the house is asleep. I love this time of the day. When I look out at this view I am always amazed; I almost catch my breath every time. How many times do you look around you at the beauty of nature and catch your breath? How many times do you set out in your morning with the clear intention in your mind of noticing what is beautiful and uplifting to you? I ask this question because so many of us are guilty these days of focusing on the minor goals in life (which we have turned into priorities) and missing out on what we are really looking for – enjoyment and happiness. We focus on getting to work quickly, and miss the enjoyment we could have if we just noticed more mere moments in our day. Happiness and bliss is to be found in the moment – it happens in the now. No Matter where you live or what is going on around you, there is a lot which will make you laugh or smile if you just look for it. And if you cannot see anything outside of you which fits the description of beautiful or uplifting then you can find something inside you which has this effect. You can think of your child’s face, or something funny which you heard on the radio, or create a beautiful scene in your mind’s eye. Pause for a moment and just enjoy. Feel each breath you take, relax your muscles and just SMILE. It is a sign of the times that there is actually “laughter therapy”. By choosing to pause for a moment, to smile and think of good things you can create your own uplifting feelings. And as you consciously change the energy which you are feeling you at the same time alter the energy which you are emitting to the world around you. We owe it to each other as well as to ourselves to take the time to laugh, be happy and enjoy. Why not consciously intend to be happy and smile a lot? Why not see how many things in your day there are today which make you smile? By looking for these things you will notice them; if you do not set out to see these things, often they will pass you by unnoticed. Just seeing a happy and smiling face makes you feel good. It can feel like a ray of sunshine in your day. To know that you have been the cause of that person’s smile makes you feel even better. Why not set out today with the intention of seeing how many people you can get to smile? Now that would be a great intention and would give everyone around you a ray of bright and beautiful sunshine. It is very true that those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. The link of course between happiness and sunshine is that both stimulate a similar neurological response within your brain. Endorphins are released and their feel-good effect is felt throughout your physiology. Should you want to give yourself an extra endorphin boost you can do so using hypnosis and visualization; relax in hypnosis and visualize yourself somewhere sunny and just imagine those happy endorphins flowing freely throughout your body. You can even get a hypnosis download specifically designed to generate endorphins. Here’s to a happy day with lots of smiles! Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis for change.  

I have 3.
My hips, because they make me look fat in some lighting. My teeth, because they’re kinda crooked and they’re not white like I want them. And my weight, because I’m “off” for my height, yet not overweight.

I work for a public relations firm and I constantly meet people every day. I started to notice that a simple smile can go a long way. It can impact not only a personal relationship but also a business one. A beautiful smile definitely makes communication easier. I have a decently bright smile but as I’ve gotten older my teeth started to shift and I may need to consult my Los Angeles Instant Orthodontics for braces or Invisalign to straighten out my teeth. Other than that, I’m pretty good at keeping good maintenance with my teeth at home. Visiting my Tarzana dentist twice a year as recommended can be hard to fit into my schedule but during my last visit to Encino cosmetic dentist, I got my teeth whiten in less than an hour and 8 shades whiter with Zoom! Whitening. Teeth is considered as important as any other part of the body. No one likes major work done on their teeth so neglecting the dentist and poor maintanence will definitely lead a person to Sherman Oaks dental implants. My new year’s resolution is to keep good dental care habits, visit the dentist twice and flash my bright smile daily!  Would you care for a smile that is stained?A smile reveals happiness, warmth, trust, confidence, and encouragement among other things. However, a smile that flashes stained teeth may offend its receiver, thereby leaving no scope for the noble intention behind the smile to disclose. Dental care, thus, is no longer only about hygiene and personal grooming but also about conveying the right emotion. Following a proper dental care routine is the most integral part of personal grooming which further constitutes your bearing while communicating or networking in person. While a beautiful smile leaves a lasting impression, a stained or smelly smile can break off a relationship or business prospect forever. Worried? Fix an appointment with your dentist today.
