Did
you know that up to 500 species of germs are shared among couples when they
kiss? This includes some germs that can cause gum disease.
Did
you also know that kissing helps prevent tooth decay because it stimulates saliva
that helps to reduce the incidence of cavity?
There
are other health benefits from sharing kisses this Valentine’s Day such as
emotional bonding, stress reduction or healthier mouth, etc.
Here’s
how to keep those sparks flying:
- Brush & FlossYou should brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time and
floss your teeth at least once a day.
- Turn up Your Megawatt SmileTeeth whitening can help to brighten your smile by a few shades and leave a
good impression on your loved ones. Consult your dentist to see if you are
suitable for teeth whitening. Teeth whitening may be less ideal for those with
receding gums, gum problems or sensitive teeth.
- Eat Chocolates!Unlike candies or gummies, chocolates are not sticky and will not cling on your teeth. Saliva can naturally wash the sugars away. However, eat them in moderation. Too much chocolate may harm your teeth over time.
Remember, a great smile attracts other great smiles, so keep up with your daily dental hygiene regimen!
