Many people make New Year’s resolutions, whether it be to exercise more, take up an interesting new hobby, or finally clean out the garage. This year, why not make your smile a priority? 2017 is the perfect time to start taking better care of your teeth and your overall dental hygiene. For 10 years, residents of Kamuela, HI, have been going to Brian S. Kubo, DDS, for all of their oral health needs. Whether you need a standard cleaning, veneers, or teeth whitening, this dentist and his experienced staff have the expertise to help you reach your 2017 smile goals. 

In addition to regular visits to the dentist, there are several ways to boost your smile in the New Year:

  • Can The Soda: While soda is a fizzy treat for many, the phosphoric and citric acid present in most soft drinks can be harmful to the surface of your teeth, softening the enamel over time. Instead, switch to water—try flavored water for a twist—and enjoy the benefits for your teeth and your health.
  • dentistCut Out Candy: Sugar is one of the most detrimental destroyers of your teeth. Sugar encourages acid and bacteria in your mouth, which will rot your teeth over time. Avoid sugary drinks and sweet treats, especially at night, to ensure a healthy smile year-round. 
  • Quit Smoking: If you’re a smoker, cutting out cigarettes may be a two-for-one resolution. Not only will your body and lungs thank you, but your teeth will also benefit from the lack of tobacco as well. Smoking consistently can yellow your teeth, as well as cause problems down to the root over time. 

If your oral health is important to you, the start of a new year is an ideal time to start investing in your smile. Visiting your dentist regularly is helpful, but following these tips will ensure a long life full of healthy teeth and gums. To schedule an appointment with Brian S. Kubo, DDS, in Kamuela, call (808) 885-8465 or visit them online.
