Life saving health and beauty appointment: dentist Let's say you have a class reunion or a wedding coming up and Crest Whitestrips aren't quite cutting it. So you go to your dentist for full-on professional whitening, but while you're there, go ahead and get a cleaning because seeing a dentist regularly will allow you to maintain oral health at its peak, says Golub-Evans. "Everything starts with the mouth, if a patient is healthy within their mouth, it will extend to their condition overall. Strong teeth and gums can even lead to better nutrition (since it doesn�t hurt to chew) and positive self-esteem," he says.
How often should you go?
"Ideally, a patient should see their dentist every six months or at least once every year," says Golub-Evans. And in between those visits? "Brushing and flossing! Flossing is especially important. I recommend that patients floss first, then brush, then rinse every night. In the morning, it's fine to just brush. Once a day flossing is enough for most people. Keeping to an overall healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables is also beneficial. And, of course, people should try to monitor their intake of things like sweets, alcohol and cigarettes. Acidic items are also hard on the teeth," he says.
Ideally I would love to do all these when required to, but I foresee that becoming very expensive. Except for working out and eating healthy I can't afford to do everything at all the times necessary. Ah!
I believe that for the busy person who really does not take care of their skin this is a very good article. We know that they will not heed to all the suggestions, but, if they take one or 2 points away it will be to their benefit. Face it, if they are busy, they are probably not going to read the entire article anyway!!
Wow! Good luck convincing my husband to let me get a massage once a week! I would love to, but I usually only get one every several years. I work a very stressful job, so perhaps it may be worth looking into!

Interesting piece. Some of the "impact without treatment" portions seem a bit dramatic.
