5 Things NOT To Do To Your Smile Today!

-I PROMISE TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH at the HSR, so your “justice is blind with no perfume“ smile can float away and dance happily-free in the wind!-

Smoking. Subjecting your enamel-coated ivories to heated smoke particulates can actually darken and alter the teeth’s surface chemistry, while also assaulting the soft tissues of the mouth, throat, wind pipe, and lungs. The quality and reparative potency of the saliva is compromised. Recent research also shows that even 3^rd hand smoke is lethal.

Intaking dark foods or beverages. Chromophores are small particles that can impart color to surfaces that they stay on. At least try to rinse with water afterward so as not to subtract from your enamel’s whiteness.

Forget to floss, brush, and power rinse. As designated janitors and caretakers of our mouths, it is incumbent upon us to do the heavy lifting of daily, effective care, so our smiles can be as bright as our personalities, hey?

Skip an up-close inspection of your chops. The mirror is your friend in keeping your look in visual check, especially to remove that left over lettuce from that healthy salad!

Break your teeth through preventable accidents or altercations. Opening bottles and tearing difficult-to-separate materials with the teeth, and the like, are only recipes for disaster, or an unexpected trip to the dentist. Use tools instead, or put it off until later. Many accidents and personal confrontations may artfully be avoided.

May you have many…a person who smiles with love, deep in the heart, raises infinite hope for our species!...sometimes we must turn the other cheek, but should we turn the other tooth?...look far into my eyes, and you shall find—yourself close to me!… smiles!
