Want To Have A Celebrity Smile? Here is The Secret To Glamorous Grins

The secret? Good dental health is key to a great grin plus a few other enhancement procedures

American actress Diane Lane once said, “I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.” A smile lights up the face and changes the expression instantly. Smiling also enhances moods, lowers stress and improves the immune system. For Ugandan celebrities, their winning smiles make them even more endearing to the public. From Juliana Kanyomozi to Judith Babirye, famous personalities in Uganda are not only loved for their easy looks and affable personalities but also amazing smiles. The secret? Good dental health is key to a great grin plus a few other enhancement procedures.

Dental health in Uganda

An article that appeared for an online publishing site stated that dental surgeons are concerned about the prevalence of oral diseases and problems among children in the country with the most common issues identified as tooth decay and gingivitis. The Ugandan Dental Association (UDA) said that this is due to parents or caregivers feeding kids with foods that contain too much sugar. As many as 90% of the world’s population will be affected by dental problems in their lifetime. These are fortunately highly preventable by going to regular dental check-ups and practicing good oral hygiene. Following up on prescribed treatments and preventive measures after routine visits also improve dental health.

Getting that celebrity smile

Practicing good dental habits from infancy is a great start to having that beautiful smile that enhances your looks. For that perfect white smile of Barbie Kyagulanyi or Anita Fabiola, there are still things that you can do to achieve celebrity-like grins.

Teeth whitening is one such procedure. Using a powerful bleach removes discoloration and stains making your chompers whiter. For crooked teeth, wearing braces improves the alignment of teeth, lips, and mouth. Orthodontic treatment also enhances the quality of life and self-worth according to Johal et al.

An alternative to braces

If you believe that braces are too uncomfortable to wear for a long time, you can opt for veneers. These are thin shells applied or bonded to your teeth to improve their appearance. They hide imperfections such as chips, stains or crooked teeth. There are different kinds of veneers that are offered by dentists such as those made from porcelain, composite, lumineers, and non-permanent veneers. Porcelain veneers last longer than other types.

For people who have lost some teeth, there’s a solution to get them back in the form of dental implants. Artificial teeth will be held by a root in your jaw. Implants are durable and typically last for 25 years. Another popular option is to use dental crowns, prosthetics that protect a tooth and enhance how it looks.

Good oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist and preventive treatments are crucial in having a sturdy set of natural teeth. In addition, cosmetic enhancements can also fix dental flaws and imperfections, everyone can have that impeccable celebrity-like smile.
