Get a Perfect Smile for Your Valentine’s Day Proposal

Have you met your true love? Do you have something extraordinary planned for the both of you this Valentine’s Day? An arrangement of red roses or a giant box of chocolates is what we’re used to giving on February 14, but if you’re planning to make this year a special one (as in adding a ring to the mix), learn a few tips and tricks on how to keep your smile healthy throughout the day. Dr. Mark Nalbandian and his staff at Wired Orthodontics in Toronto, ON will work to help you get the affordable oral care you need for a brighter smile, and a happier you.

1. Brush your teeth: In order to keep your teeth perfect and healthy, remember to brush and floss twice a day. This will help prevent tooth decay and other dental problems. More importantly, this will help you get rid of long lasting bacteria that causes bad breath. Keeping up with your oral hygiene and brushing your teeth will not only help to keep your mouth looking healthy; it will help your mouth smell great and taste even better.

2. Avoid getting food stuck between your teeth: Before the big moment, you want to be sure there aren’t any other surprises, such as excess food or debris between your teeth. If you’re going to get food during the day before you ask the question, you don’t want to have any unnecessary food jams in or around your mouth. If you experience difficulty with food sneaking in your teeth due to an issue of overcrowding or gaps, you may want to look into getting traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign.

3. Achieve a more natural looking smile: If you wish to reshape the way your teeth and smile look, you can restore decayed teeth and give yourself a healthier looking smile through the benefits that cosmetic dentistry offers. Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular to-date; from whitening and renovating teeth and the overall shape of smiles, to replacing rotten teeth with dental implants and veneers. There are several ways in which cosmetic dentistry has helped to restore our teeth:

   • Teeth whitening: A chemical process that we use to make your teeth brighter and whiter. Your teeth stain when they are constantly exposed to substances such as coffee or soda, cigarette smoke, and certain foods. Although this treatment restores your teeth with a natural tooth colour, it does not prevent your teeth from being stained in the future. Use preventative measures to re-stain your teeth by avoiding the substances that previously stained your teeth.

   • Bonding: Bonding helps fill in any spaces between teeth, fill the small cavities, or protect an exposed root of a tooth.

   • Crowns:  Sometimes called “covers” or “caps”, which completely cap and cover a tooth to restore its original shape and appearance.

   • Dental Bridges: The replacement of missing teeth with artificial teeth.

Don’t let your dental problems be a reason for any hesitation. If you are preparing yourself for this next step in life, we wish you luck and happiness in your future! Here at Wired Orthodontics near Toronto, Dr. Mark Nalbandian will work to help make sure your smile is as shiny as the diamond in the box. Although statistics show that there are over 200,000 wedding proposals in Canada alone on Valentine’s Day, we hope your smile makes it a very special one.
