3..2..1… Say “Cheese!”
Selfies have been around for quite a while now. Yet selfies have not lost their charm. In today’s world of Instagram and Facebook, selfies have proved to be a boon for dental health.
Selfies are today’s mirrors which show you if you are taking care of your dental health or not. When you are not happy with your smile in your selfies, you tend to look after your dental health more carefully.
Some tips for you want to take advantage of selfies for better dental health.
Zoom Your Selfies
Next time before you post a selfie on social media, zoom it! Are you happy with your smile? If not, it is time to revisit your dental hygiene habits.
If you see food stuck in your teeth in a selfie, that means even the person you meet is able to see it. This just shows that even though you may be brushing twice daily, you are not brushing properly.
Video record while brushing
The best way to ensure whether you are brushing properly or not is to video record yourself. When you record you will know if you are leaving out any specific area while brushing. You may be extra careful with your oral hygiene habits if you decide to record them. You also won’t forget to brush at night!
Take your selfies to your dentist
If you are not happy with your smile, show your selfie to your dentist. With newer methods and progress in the field of dentistry, anyone at any age can have a perfect healthy smile. Cosmetic dentistry can do wonders for your smile and self confidence.
Next time you say “Cheese”, let it be with a smile you are proud of.
