Every day we are bombarded with messages and it’s the very special ones that get “through” to us. Does this one catch your interest? If it doesn’t, well, I’m a little worried about you! Check it out…and note the P.S. on the letter. Nice work Doc!
Think about the titles you use in your marketing and advertising and remember this old formula A.I.D.A.: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. Without “attention” we get nowhere. Hope this got yours.

Healthy Smooching: Good Oral Hygiene Leads to Great Kisses

Whether you’re preparing for holiday mistletoe or are just in the mood for some love, you’re probably fully aware of the connection between the state of your mouth and the quality of your kisses. Still, a little reminder never hurt. Here’s the skinny on getting lucky without embarrassment (from your mouth, anyway)!

Kick the Smoking Habit

I’m sure you’re very familiar with the smoking lecture. Not only do tobacco products taste awful to your partner, but they put you at greater risk for oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease. Why put so much effort into knocking your sweetheart’s socks off if you aren’t going to be around to pick them up? If you don’t kick the habit for your partner, do it for yourself.

Don’t Chew Gum

The best smooches are spur of the moment, so it’s best to be prepared for them. Besides, sugary gum can lead to tooth decay, AKA cavities. If you must chew gum (maybe you want your breath to be in top shape), choose a sugar-free variety.

Brush and Floss

Nothing leaves an impression like bad breath, but it’s not the kind of attention you want. Besides, healthy white teeth will help you build confidence in your smile. Brushing your teeth and gums is a good start, but take it a step further and floss each night. You’ll dislodge food particles and remove odor-causing, not to mention tissue- and tooth-destroying, bacteria. If you don’t have your toothbrush handy after you eat, at least rinse your mouth out with warm water. There are also a number of handy little dental products available for great breath on the go.

Take good care of your partner by caring for yourself. If you find that your gums are exceptionally tender or swollen, or if you have habitually bad breath, make an appointment with our office for a checkup! These could be symptoms of a more serious problem. Give us a call at (425)424-0744 or email us at drsaghafi@woodinvillecosmeticdentist.com today.
