- Stand in front of a mirror, smile, and honestly evaluate your teeth, gums, breath and smile. Are you satisfied or is there an obvious problem?
- If it’s been a while since you have been to the dentist, make an appointment to have your teeth cleaned and thoroughly examined. Yellowish tartar build up is not healthy or attractive.
- At your cleaning appointment ask them to evaluate the color of your teeth using a shade guide. Brighter, whiter teeth is an easy affordable option that can instantly improve the majority of smiles. Ask the dentist for the different teeth whitening options and the benefits of each.
- Some simple tooth problems can quickly and painlessly be addressed with a short dental appointment for contouring or cosmetic tooth bonding.
- On the day of your interview brush and floss your teeth meticulously and avoid eating odorous foods like onions and garlic.
- Check your teeth in mirror before you arrive at the interview and use a non alcoholic mouth wash to keep your breath fresh.
- If you have missing teeth, or cracked, chip, or broken teeth and you would like to get evaluated and understand what the options are for your smile, make an appointment at our Columbus dental office for a Smile Evaluation.
