Dr. AlBahri’s Tips for a Perfect Smile

  1. Prioritize oral hygiene: Dr. AlBahri emphasizes the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene to achieve a perfect smile. He recommends an electric toothbrush twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
  2. Regular dental checkups: According to Dr. AlBahri, scheduling regular dental checkups (at least twice a year) is essential for maintaining a beautiful smile. These checkups allow your dentist to monitor your oral health and address any issues before they become serious.
  3. Watch your diet: What you eat has a significant impact on your dental and overall health. Dr. AlBahri suggests limiting your consumption of sugary and acidic foods and beverages, especially in terms of frequency as they can contribute to tooth decay and erosion.
  4. Replace missing teeth: Teeth are constantly moving, this is why you tend to see crowded teeth in the elderly, so when you remove a tooth, other teeth adjacent to it move as well and cause bite issues and with time you will not be a good candidate for dental implants.
  5. Invest in cosmetic dentistry: When you first meet anyone, you look at their eyes and teeth, having a confident smile helps you, not only in your social life but also your professional life. Dr. AlBahri suggests considering cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, or orthodontic or invisalign treatments. These procedures can help you achieve the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of.
  6. Protect your teeth: Dr. AlBahri stresses the importance of taking steps to protect your teeth from injury. He recommends wearing a mouthguard when participating in sports and a night guard to protect against teeth grinding and clenching, along with avoiding using your teeth as tools (e.g., to open bottles or packages).
