A beautiful white smile is sure to attract attention but, of course, most people are not born with perfect white teeth. The good news is that there are many options out there to help you to achieve the gorgeous white teeth before your prom! It has been said that your smile is sometimes the first thing people notice about you, so make sure your teeth are looking their best for prom. There are lots of ways to get your teeth brilliantly white for prom, so here at Hebeos we looked into the best 6 Ways to Make Sure Your Smile Ready For Prom!
Step Up Your Brushing
This may seem like a no-brainer, but try to train yourself to brush a few more times during the day leading up to prom. Stash a travel toothbrush in your clutch and sneak off to the bathroom when you can at work or school to brush after meals. Flossing is also key to getting your smile looking fabulous, and it’s time to finally take flossing seriously. Your dentist has been bugging you to do it for years, so try to set a goal for yourself to floss each night. Also try an alcohol free mouthwash once a day to keep plaque at bay. Your teeth will thank you.
Try at-home-whitening
You may be able to get rid of superficial stains by yourself. A number of at-home tooth-whitening products — kits, strips, toothpastes, and rinses– may lighten stains. There are even some old-fashioned remedies you can try. Tooth-whitening products available on drugstore shelves use mild bleach to brighten yellow teeth. Toothpastes use abrasives and chemicals to remove surface stains!
Baking Soda Scrub
Combining baking soda and lemon juice to make a paste is a powerful way of naturally whitening your teeth. Create a few teaspoons of the paste and use an old toothbrush to scrub the paste over all of your teeth, and allow it to sit for a few minutes. It doesn’t taste great, but is a good way of whitening without chemicals.
Moisturize
The texture of your skin and lips will also impact your smile. Use an all-natural moisturizer to make your skin look luminescent and healthy. Using a natural lip balm will also keep your lips nice and moist so you can flash a healthy, supple, and beautiful smile. When you are at the drugstore, remember to read the labels. Anything full of ingredients you cannot read is likely to be full of chemicals. They can dry out your skin and lips, making it more difficult to smile freely.
Drink Water
We encourage all of you to drink plenty of water. Doing so is important for the health of your body, for the appearance of your skin, and for your teeth. Dry mouth can give you terrible breath, so even if you want to smile, you will be less inclined to do so. Drinking water helps your body produce enough saliva to wash away food particles, bacteria, and even plaque, so instead of grabbing a soda during your formal, drink from a water bottle instead. Your smile, breath, and health will thank you.
Red Lips
If all else fails, red lipstick will make your teeth look whiter! Depending on your prom style, try a bold red lip with blueish undertones to make your teeth appear drastically whiter. A matte lip will also make your teeth look glossy. Make sure to use a primer so your look stays on all night!
